Readmission
Semester Undergraduate Students
Any undergraduate student who has not been enrolled in Lindenwood courses for one or more semesters and who wishes to resume coursework must be readmitted to the University by submitting a new application to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Students who were suspended at the time of departure from the University must also submit a letter of appeal to the Lindenwood Associate Provost. Upon review of the new application, the Office of Admissions will update the student’s profile in preparation for the student’s return to Lindenwood. Students without prior approval for a leave of absence will then be directed to attend a scheduled enrollment day on which to enroll in courses. Students with prior approval for the leave of absence will be directed to contact their advisors to enroll in classes.
Notes: (1) Students who are readmitted to the University after only one semester of non-approved absence are subject to the degree requirements outlined in the academic catalog under which the student was originally accepted to the University.
(2) Any student who is readmitted to the University after one year of absence or more will be subject to the degree requirements outlined in the academic catalog current at the time of the student’s return to the University.
(3) Upon return of any student after an absence of five or more years, a review of the student’s previously earned credits in the major will be reviewed for approval by the division chair or dean.
(4) Any course or courses that must be repeated will be taken as special topics classes, and credit and GPA for such courses will count toward graduation.
Students who must be readmitted to the University (as described under Readmission above) and who have received indication of acceptance from the admissions office are eligible to re-enroll in Lindenwood courses and will be enrolled in classes on a scheduled University enrollment day. (For dates of scheduled enrollment days, contact the Office of Day Admissions.) Any changes in the student’s degree or major requirements between the time of the student’s departure and the time of the student’s return to Lindenwood will be discussed at the time of enrollment.
All Quarter Students (Graduate or Undergraduate)
Any quarter student who has not been enrolled at Lindenwood University for one year (four successive quarters) or more and who wishes to resume his or her coursework must be readmitted to the University. The student must complete a new application for admission and submit it to the Office of Evening and Graduate Admissions. Students who were suspended at the time of departure from the University must also submit a letter of appeal to the Lindenwood Associate Provost.
After review of the application (and a successful appeal of suspension, if necessary) the admissions office will update the student’s profile in preparation for his or her return to the University. The student will then be directed to an academic advisor to enroll in course.
Note: Readmitted students will be subject to the degree requirements outlined in the academic catalog current at the time of readmission.
