Earned Credit Time Limits

Credits earned at Lindenwood University will be accepted toward a degree no matter when they were earned, except for requirements in the student’s major. Credits previously earned in the student’s major, if earned more than five years prior to readmission, will be reviewed for approval by the department chair. If any course must be repeated within a major, and the course is not being offered in the normal sequence of course offerings, it may be offered as a special topics class with credit counting toward graduation. Such a course will be calculated as a part of the student’s GPA.
