Lindenwood University begins the spring semester on Tuesday, January 19. For the first two weeks of the semester, all on-ground lecture courses will be conducted in a virtual format using OWL technology. Laboratory, clinical, studio, and other experiential courses will meet in-person as scheduled, unless the instructor notifies students of alternate plans. All students should access the Canvas shell for each of their courses and check their Lindenwood email prior to January 19 for information about each course and plans for the semester.

All students and employees are required to follow the guidance below:

• To wear a mask or face covering at all times while on campus;
• To maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance from others while on campus; 
• To conduct a daily wellness COVID-19 self-assessment before leaving a residential room or coming to campus;
• To follow all health and safety guidance, measures, precautions, and protocols set by the University and other health authorities; and
• To stay apprised of, and regularly review COVID-19 related guidance, including information posted by the University to its COVID-19 webpages that will be updated as the COVID-19 pandemic situation continues to evolve;
• To comply with all University protocol regardless of personal COVID-19 vaccination status.

The safety and wellbeing of the Lindenwood campus community is a top priority. Stay in your residence and/or do not come to campus and complete the initial assessment survey if:
