Application Process
To be considered for admission to the Lindenwood University-Belleville, an applicant’s file must include each of the following documents:
- Electronic or paper application, along with a non-refundable $30 application fee.
- Official transcripts indicating graduation from the last high school attended or from a home school program. A GED certificate may be provided in lieu of the high school transcript. Candidates who do not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent and who meet the requirements outlined by the U.S. Department of Education may submit, in lieu of such documents, a passing score on the Ability to Benefit (COMPASS) exam. Students interested in taking this exam should discuss this possibility with an admissions representative.
Semester Programs
- Results of ACT or SAT. The Lindenwood University-Belleville code for reporting purposes is 6888 for the ACT or 6781 for the SAT.
- Transfer students applying for semester programs with 24 or more hours of transferable credit, applicants who have been out of high school for five or more years, or those given approval by the Dean of the Office of Admissions may not be required to submit scores from standardized tests, although such scores are recommended.
