U.S. Citizen and Permanent Resident Application
To be considered for admission to the university, an applicant’s file must include each of the following documents:
- Online or paper application.
- 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 the exam should discuss this possibility with an admissions representative.
- Official college transcript(s) from all institutions attended.
- Results of the ACT or SAT. The Lindenwood code for reporting purposes is 2324 for the ACT and 6367 for the SAT. Applicants who have been out of high school for five or more years, applicants with 24 or more transferable college level credits, or those given approval by the director of admission may not be required to submit scores from standardized tests, although such scores are recommended. Satisfactory standardized test scores are required for all students majoring in education.
- Transfer students applying for undergraduate semester programs with less than 24 hours of transferable college credits are also required to meet the freshman admission standards by submitting official test scores and high school transcripts.
Once the application is submitted, an admissions counselor will contact the applicant to answer any questions and assist in the admission process. The application and application materials may be mailed to Lindenwood University, The Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 209 South Kingshighway, Saint Charles, MO 63301 or submitted online at www.admissions@lindenwood.edu. Applicants may call (636) 949-4949 with any admissions related questions.
Notes: (1) 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 Undergraduate Admissions at the destination campus.
