Notes

(1) Students and/or their parents/guardians (as applicable) accept all conditions of payment as well as all terms, conditions, and policies of the University, which the University reserves the right to change, and by choosing to enroll at Lindenwood and attend the student and/or the parent/guardian (as applicable) agree to the same. The University reserves the right change tuition, fees, and/or other costs at its discretion.

(2) Provisions for “extended stay” housing and meals, degree programs, and tutoring and additional services are available upon request.

(3) Students are expected to pay tuition charges prior to the beginning of each term. Students may use financial aid (grants and loans) as payment. Student Aid Reports and loan applications should be submitted to the Student Financial Services prior to the beginning of each term.

(4) Wellfleet partners with Lindenwood University to provide comprehensive, affordable care act compliant health insurance coverage for Lindenwood students. The premium for the SHIP is adjusted annually. Students will be notified of the premium cost via Lindenwood student email after enrollment for the upcoming academic term. The charge will appear on the student’s billing ledger. Students should visit Lindenwood SHIP website for more information.

(5) Fines may be assessed to student accounts for violating campus policies.

(6) Lindenwood University implemented the Lion Fee as a $1700/year comprehensive cost assessed to all traditional, undergraduate students. Because online learners utilize services in different ways than traditional undergraduate students, Lindenwood developed a separate fee at $500/year called the Online Student Technology Fee. This reduced fee covers the necessary costs of service to support online student success and eliminates the cost for the broader scope of services included in the Lion Fee. This fee is used to cover the technology support and systems utilized by our online learners including Canvas, Microsoft 365, Apporto Virtual Computer Labs, online tutoring resources, and more.

(7) The 20% off per credit hour for Military and Military Dependents is non-stackable with institutional aid and may not be eligible to use with certain military benefits.
