Lindenwood University is offering students the opportunity to check-in early before the beginning of the 2013 fall semester. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 8-12, and from July 15-19, students can visit specific administrative offices, collect verification that all requirements have been satisfied, and become eligible to check directly into the appropriate residential facility on their designed date or attend the first day of class on Monday, August 26.

Students will first visit the Business Office to obtain a check-in booklet and address any outstanding balances, and then move on to Financial Aid to verify their grant and scholarship information. The third stop will be the Work and Learn Department, where students will obtain their assignments and student identification cards. They will be invited to sign the emergency text message form in the Student Development Office, and then complete a housing card and emergency contact information form.

An official stamp will be used to verify that the necessary requirements have been met at each office. If an outstanding issue remains, students will not be able to check-in until that issue is resolved.

For those who choose not to take advantage of early check in opportunities, regular dates are scheduled for all new freshman students on Wednesday, August 21 and for all non-freshman transfer and returning students on August 24 (A-M) or 25 (N-Z). The entire process will need to be completed inside the Hyland Performance Arena before students can move in to their assigned University residences.
