College comes with a lot of questions—some big, some small, and some you may not even know who to ask. We’ve gathered answers to some of the questions new Lions ask most often to help you navigate your first year with a little more confidence.
Getting Started
Your Lindenwood student email is one of the primary ways the university communicates important information to you. Check your email daily so you don’t miss updates, deadlines, and information from your professors and campus offices.
The Student Portal is your starting point for accessing important student information and university services. Make sure you know your Lindenwood login information and can access your account before classes begin.
You can find your academic advisor’s name and contact information in the upper right-hand corner of your Student Portal. Your advisor is a great resource for questions about your academic plan, course selection, and navigating your degree program.
Academics
Not sure what you want to study—or thinking about changing your major? Start by exploring Lindenwood’s academic programs and connect with your academic advisor to discuss your options.
Course registration happens through the Student Portal. Your academic advisor can help you understand your degree requirements, select courses, and plan your schedule.
Once you have your class schedule, you can use your course information to find the books and materials required for your classes.
