With a strong commitment to student success, academic excellence, and meaningful engagement with external partners, she brings a vision that aligns closely with our mission and future priorities. We look forward to working with Dr. Schroeder as we continue to enhance student outcomes and expand opportunities for our university community.

Faculty Office Hours
One of your student's greatest resources are their course instructors. Every faculty member is required to hold office hours each week; these are times where your students' instructors will be in their offices (or online if they are remote employees) and available to meet with students.
A primary use for office hours is to get help with course content or discuss feedback on a recent assignment; however, office hours are also a great opportunity for students to build relationships with instructors, which can lead to future opportunities.
Ask your student if they have attended office hours at least once for each of their classes this semester.

Fall Billing & Remaining Balances
Now that the fall semester is underway, students should review their account for any remaining balance. Schedule changes, housing adjustments, financial aid updates, or other account activity may have changed the amount due since the original bill was issued. If a balance remains, students should review payment options and contact Student Financial Services early for help understanding next steps.
| |
Financial Aid Disbursement & Stipends
Due to recent federal changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), additional reviews of student financial aid accounts may be required before Fall financial aid can be finalized and disbursed. These reviews help ensure that financial aid is calculated accurately based on eligibility and enrollment level and complies with the new federal requirements.
As Lindenwood Student Financial Services teams complete these additional reviews, financial aid disbursements and stipends may take longer than usual to process. We understand the importance of receiving your stipends and appreciate your patience as our team works carefully through these new federal requirements. If your student's financial aid results in a stipend, the student will receive notification from BankMobile when funds are available, provided they have opted in to receive notifications.

Thinking About Dropping a Class or Withdrawing?
Before changing enrollment, students should understand that dropping or withdrawing from a course can affect financial aid eligibility, account balances, and potential stipends. Students are encouraged to speak with the appropriate university offices before making an enrollment change if they have questions about the financial impact.

FERPA
The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of a student’s educational records. Once a student is enrolled, the university generally communicates directly with the student, even when parents or supporters are assisting academically or financially. This includes billing, financial aid, registration, grades, housing, and academic progress.
How Students Grant FERPA Authorization
Students who wish to allow Lindenwood staff to speak with a parent or trusted supporter must submit a FERPA Authorization through the Student Portal (Self-Service).
The authorization remains on file unless the student updates or removes it.
Steps to Set Up FERPA Authorization
- Have your student log in to the Lindenwood Student Portal (Self-Service).
- Select User Options or Personal Information.
- Click FERPA Authorization (or FERPA Release).
- Add authorized individual(s) and select information to share.
- Save and submit.
