Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to explain the time limit for accepting previously earned credits.

Scope

This policy applies to all undergraduate students.

Policy

Credits earned at Lindenwood University will be accepted toward a degree no matter when they were earned, except for requirements in the student’s major. Credits earned in the student’s major will be reviewed for approval by the department chair. If any course must be repeated within a major and the course is not being offered in the normal sequence of course offerings, it may be offered as a special topics class with credit counting toward graduation. Such a course will be calculated as a part of the student’s GPA.

Please direct any questions about this policy to the Office of the Registrar.
