Withdrawal and Refund Calculation
Within the first week of a term, a student may drop classes via the student portal without having to obtain the signature of a faculty member. No grade of W will appear on the student’s transcript as a result of dropping classes during this week, and the classes will be dropped as a “never attended."
In the event that a student wishes to withdraw from a course or courses or from the university altogether, the following conditions apply with respect to the refund of charges.
-
Any student who withdraws from the university prior to the beginning of a term is eligible for a refund of all payments.
-
Any student wishing to withdraw from a cluster of courses or from Lindenwood University should submit a completed Add/Drop/Withdrawal form to the student’s advisor no later than Friday of the eighth week of the term (see Academic Calendar for deadlines). The academic advisor will forward the completed form to the Office of Academic Services.
-
Any student who withdraws from all courses after a term has begun is eligible for a refund of the tuition charges (including course-overload charges) for the courses the student attended upon the start of the term. Refunds are granted according to the schedule in the table below:
