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 (ADP), a student who has satisfied three semester hours of a cluster with transfer credit, CLEP-type testing, or Experiential Learning may opt to take the cluster or may opt for the following: 1) take the remaining classes as individual classes either at ADP or in the Lindenwood University Day Program, as may be available; 2) take the classes at another college or university with prior approval (as noted above) of Lindenwood University; or, 3) take only six of the nine hours in a cluster, paying only for the six hours taken. If option #3 is selected the student will be responsible for attending the entire class period at all class meetings. The student will also be responsible for all assessments, tests, and assignments whose scores count towards the final grade in either or both of the included courses within the cluster. Further, the student will not be responsible for assessments, tests, or assignments whose scores count only towards the final grade in the excluded course within the cluster.
