- Electronic or paper application, along with a non-refundable $30 application fee.
- Current résumé.
- Personal statement indicating why the applicant desires further education or describing the applicant’s long-term goals or a specific life experience.
- Official transcripts indicating graduation from the last high school attended or from a home school program. A minimum of 2.5 unweighted cumulative GPA is required. A GED certificate may be provided in lieu of the high school transcript.
- Official college transcript(s) from all institutions attended.
- Writing placement testing.
- Results of the ACT or SAT. The Lindenwood code for reporting purposes is 2324 for the ACT and 6367 for the SAT. A minumum of 20 composite ACT is required or 940 SAT (critical reading and mathematics only). Transfer students with 24 or more hours of college credit, applicants who have been out of high school for five or more years, or those given approval by the Dean of Day Admissions may not be required to submit scores from standardized tests, although such scores are recommended.
Notes: (1) Provisional admission to the University may be granted by the Director of Day Admissions on the basis of facsimile copies of high school transcripts, ACT/SAT scores, GED scores, and/or other university transcripts. No financial aid will be distributed while a student remains provisionally admitted.
(2) Applicants who have successfully completed 24 or more transferable hours at a regionally accredited two-year institution may not be required to submit high school transcripts in application for admission to Lindenwood. They will, however, be required to submit official transcripts from the higher education institution(s) they attended. For information regarding approved two-year institutions, call (636) 949-4954 or email academicservices@lindenwood.edu.
(3) Students who are admitted to either Lindenwood-St. Charles or Lindenwood-Belleville and wish to transfer to the other campus must submit a formal application to transfer to the Office of Day Admissions at the destination campus.
