Filing a Grievance
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 all individual identities of complainants. No letters or documents revealing the identities of individual complaints will be shared without the express written permission of the complainants.
The university has established a number of appeal and grievance procedures (such as the process for appealing the suspension of financial aid). Once the normal appeal and grievance procedures have been exhausted, students may submit formal written complaints concerning academic matters to the Provost and complaints concerning student services to the Vice President for Student Development. All other formal written student complaints should be directed to the president's office.
