Stopping Out and Readmission

Graduate students who opt to take a leave of absence from the university are said to “stop out.” For requirements regarding readmission to the university, please see below.

Graduate Semester

Any graduate semester student who has not been enrolled in Lindenwood courses for more than four semesters and who wishes to resume coursework must be readmitted to the university by submitting a new application to the Office of University Admissions. Students who were suspended at the time of departure from the university must also submit a letter of appeal to the Provost’s Office. Upon review of the new application, the admissions office will update the student’s profile in preparation for the student’s return to Lindenwood University under the catalog of re-entry. Students will be directed to contact their advisors to enroll in classes once the readmit process has been approved. 

Graduate Five-Term

Any graduate five-term student who has not been enrolled in Lindenwood courses for more than five terms and who wishes to resume coursework must be readmitted to the university by submitting a new application to the Office of University Admissions. Students who were suspended at the time of departure from the university must also submit a letter of appeal to the Provost’s Office. Upon review of the new application, the admissions office will update the student’s profile in preparation for the student’s return to Lindenwood. Students will be directed to contact their advisors to enroll in classes once the readmit process has been approved.
