Transferring Credit While a Lindenwood Student
A student at Lindenwood who wishes to take courses at another college or university while pursuing a degree at Lindenwood must first obtain permission for the transfer of these courses from the student's academic advisor, the dean of the school in which that course resides, and the registrar. A Prior Approval form may be obtained from the Office of Academic Services or the Student Success Center. Credits accepted in transfer do not affect the student’s grade point average at Lindenwood University.
Note: In the School of Accelerated Degree Programs, a student who has satisfied three semester hours of a cluster with transfer credit may opt to take the cluster or may opt to take the remaining six-semester hours as individual courses. If the student opts to take the cluster, a three-semester hour Special Topics course will be substituted for the transfer course and the student will be required to complete advanced level coursework as described in the Special Topics syllabus. A student who has satisfied six semester hours of a cluster with transfer credits may take a single three semester hour course at Lindenwood or transfer the remaining three semester hours to Lindenwood to complete the cluster.
