The Office of First-Year Programs is committed to providing first-year students with the support and resources needed to have a successful transition to Lindenwood University. First year students are all traditional undergraduate students who are attending college for the first-time and transfer students with less than 24 transferable credits who have not successfully completed a Freshmen Seminar course at their previous institution. First-year students includes all students who are currently enrolled in high school, regardless of the amount of college credit they have earned.

First-Year Programs is dedicated to the academic and personal success of all first-year students. The office offers a comprehensive and intentional experience that supports student learning and involvement.




Your new first year connections are of paramount importance to us, which is why we provide First Year Experience, Freshmen Seminar, and one-on-one support to assist with the transition to college.

All first-year students and incoming students with less than 24 credits are encouraged to utilize the support services of First-year Programs. We look forward to meeting you and helping you have a fun and successful transition to Lindenwood University!
