History

Lindenwood University was founded in 1832 by pioneering educators Mary Easton Sibley and George Sibley. The Sibleys sought to establish an institution that educated students across disciplinary fields, provided a solid core curriculum, and promoted the desire to serve the community. The Sibleys envisioned a college that would educate the “whole person” by encouraging students to pursue the liberal arts, as well as focused studies. Their vision survives to this day.

Commitments

Assessment

The faculty, administration, and staff of Lindenwood University are dedicated to sustaining excellent educational programs and learning environments. Therefore, we are also committed to mission-based, comprehensive, and data-driven assessment for the purpose of continuous institutional improvement and effectiveness.

Given the above commitment, the Culture of Continuous Improvement statement below serves as a compass in guiding our assessment and continuous improvement efforts. The statement describes the type of institutional culture that is needed to live out that commitment.

A Culture of Continuous Improvement: Defining Characteristics

1. The institution publicly affirms its commitment to effectiveness and continuous improvement and, in so doing, recognizes the need for accountability to its stakeholders.
2. The institution values effectiveness and continuous improvement in all facets and levels of its operations (e.g., individual professional development, classroom teaching and learning, program review, measurement of graduate success, student and employee satisfaction, governance).
3. Comprehensive and integrative assessment is conducted for the purpose of continuous improvement.
4. The leadership of the institution understands, values, and provides strong support for efforts related to assessment and continuous improvement.
5. Assessment for learning and of learning are valued, supported, and recognized.
6. Efforts to improve teaching are valued, supported, and recognized.
7. All aspects of the assessment process are conducted with a spirit of collaboration among colleagues within all programs and departments. There is collective investment in the commitment to effective teaching and learning and to overall institutional effectiveness.
8. Both faculty and staff value inquiry and the important role of evidence in the decision-making processes associated with continuous improvement. Multiple forms of direct and indirect evidence are used to make decisions annually.
9. Assessment processes and results are integrated within the institution’s planning and budgeting processes - the institution commits the necessary resources to support its assessment program, and assessment results inform both planning and budgeting.
10. The institution understands the critical importance of sustainable and transparent assessment practices, including documenting and sharing intended outcomes and objectives, appropriate methods of assessment, the results of assessment, and initiatives to “close the loop,” wherein the results are used for continuous improvement.

University Policies

Abuse of Student Portals

Any student, who gains unauthorized entrance to another student’s portal, makes changes to another student’s schedule via the student portal, or otherwise tampers with or compromises private or privileged communications will be expelled from Lindenwood University. Additionally, such actions will be brought to the attention of law enforcement officials and may be prosecuted through the legal system.

Cancellations Due to Inclement Weather

Only the president (or, in the president’s absence, the provost or associate provost) has the authority to cancel classes in the event of severe weather. Should weather create potentially hazardous conditions, Lindenwood University will evaluate the situation and take into consideration the safety of faculty, staff, and students as well as the services that must be provided despite the inclement weather. After this careful evaluation and depending on the hazardous weather conditions (e.g., tornado, snow/ice, etc.), an alert will be sent to students, faculty, and staff via a Rave system text message and email message, as necessary. This alert will detail the appropriate action required of faculty, staff, and students and will specify the essential services that must be provided despite the inclement weather. Instructors are expected to schedule a make-up class meeting when evening classes are cancelled due to inclement weather.

In the unlikely event that the normal work and/or class schedule are to be altered, an announcement will be posted on the University’s website (http://lindenwood.edu). An announcement also will be distributed via email and the Rave system. Separate announcements may be made regarding evening classes (those classes starting at or after 4 p.m.).

The University strives to maintain its teaching, research, and service activities in accordance with established schedules and operational demands. To this end, suspension or cancellation of classes due to inclement weather will be avoided whenever possible. Because certain essential functions of the university must be provided at all times, campus operations will not be suspended in the event of severe weather even though classes may be canceled.

Campus Tobacco Use

Tobacco use is prohibited on campus and in all campus buildings. Tobacco includes, but is not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, water pipes (hookah), electronic cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco, and any non-FDA approved nicotine delivery device.

Filing a Grievance

The University has specific grievance procedures related to grade appeals, financial aid and other academic or financial policies specifically outlined in this academic catalog. If a student has a grievance that falls outside of the established policies, students may submit a formal complaint to the student Ombudsperson at complaints@lindenwood.edu. More information about the current complaint procedures can be found at www.lindenwood.edu/about/consumer-information/student-right-to-know/student-complaint-procedure/.

Lindenwood University shares information from students’ formal written complaints with the Higher Learning Commission as part of its normal accrediting process. This information is shared in such a manner as to shield the individual identities of all complainants. No letters or documents revealing the identities of individual complaints will be shared without the express written permission of the complainants.

Firearms Policy

No person is permitted to carry firearms or other weapons, either concealed or visible, on Lindenwood property or to any Lindenwood class. The only exception to this policy applies to duly sworn, on-duty law enforcement officers. Off-duty police officers may carry concealed weapons to their Lindenwood classes only if authorized to do so by their employer and the states of Missouri or Illinois.

Recording and Electronic Devices

During classroom instruction and testing, the use of cameras, video, audio taping devices, or any other kinds of electronic devices (including telephones, Google glasses, and Bluetooth devices) is allowed only after obtaining written permission from the instructor; otherwise, the use of such devices is prohibited.

Electronic devices used for prosthetic or accessibility purposes may be used only after the faculty member has received a signed accommodation letter from the accessibility officer. Any recordings made during class may not be redistributed to anyone not a member of the class without the express written permission of the instructor and all student subjects of the recording.

Recorded video sessions of a class may be used within that class, as long as the videos are password protected. Recordings that involve students cannot be used in future classes. Video sessions of lectures recorded outside of the classroom by the instructor that do not involve students may be used by the instructor in future classes. Students may download electronic course materials for personal use only.

Photo Usage

As a student at Lindenwood University, you may be photographed on campus or at campus events, and those photographs may be used on Lindenwood’s website, social media sites, and in promotional materials for the University.
