Undergraduate Summer
Program 2015
WORK AND LEARN APPLICATION
DUE MAY 1, 2015
Lindenwood University-Belleville Work and Learn
2015 Summer Program Overview:
Lindenwood University students who are semester resident undergraduates and wish to work in order to pay for
the cost of tuition for their classes and/or wish to reside on campus for the summer may apply to participate
in the Work and Learn 2015 Summer Program. This program is designed to help the University prepare for
the upcoming school year and reduce the tuition costs for students in need. This Work and Learn 2015
Summer Program Contract is a financial aid agreement between the student and the University that requires
the student to work the agreed upon number of hours or pay the remaining balance of the tuition cost. The
majority of positions are with grounds, housekeeping, and food service. Students must be able to perform
physical labor, as the majority of positions require lifting, moving equipment, and contact with cleaning
chemicals.
Work and Learn is not guaranteed as the jobs are limited in number and are assigned on a first-comefirst-served basis. No assignments will be made outside of those listed above without the permission of
the Office of Work and Learn and the Dean of Students. This permission must be granted prior to May 1,
2015. There is no transfer option. Students who fail to perform satisfactorily may be terminated from the
program and will be sent to the Business Office to pay their remaining balance, or the student can drop
his/her classes, vacate the campus for the summer, and pay the remaining balance with the Business Office.

Living on campus does not (by itself) qualify a student to participate in the Work and Learn Program.
Athletics scholarships may be given to NAIA athletes and are handled through the Athletic Compliance Office. If a
student is receiving an athletics scholarship, he/she cannot do the Work and Learn section to cover the difference.
Students who cannot physically perform their job will be removed from the program and are responsible for the
remaining balance of University costs.
Students who are academically suspended after the spring 2015 semester will be dropped from any summer session
class that begins before June 3, 2015. If the student successfully appeals suspension, he/she will be permitted to
return for classes that begin on or after June 3.
Students who add a class and wish to participate in Work and Learn in an upcoming session must reapply for available
positions. (There is no job guarantee, and students without a job must make payment arrangements with the
Business Office).
Students are hired for a particular job; transferring is not permitted without the permission of the Work and Learn Office.
Students who fail to work at least 22 hours/week (80% of weekly total) will be removed from the program after
the first week of the session and will not be credited for the LU Grant or hours not worked for the summer.
These students will not be allowed to participate in any following summer sessions.
Students who drop a class are not eligible to remain in the Work and Learn Program for the session they drop.
These students may remain in their room with the permission of the Office of Residential Life and Business Office
and will be charged accordingly.
Applications received after Friday, May 1, 2015, will not be accepted. Students can be approved to take classes, and
they can be enrolled in summer housing, but must pay instead of doing Work and Learn.
There are no excused absences for summer classes. Students should plan work and activity schedules around their
class times.
The University is closed on Memorial Day (Monday, May 25) and the Fourth of July (Friday, July 3) holidays. Students
must arrange their schedule to compensate for these two days. The required number of 112 hours for a 4-week class
and 168 for a 6-week class must still be completed during the session.
To drop out of the Work and Learn 2015 Summer Program, students must check out of the University through the Work
and Learn Office and, if living on campus, must check out through the Office of Residential Life.

LU Grant
Students who participate in the Work and Learn 2015 Summer Program will receive an LU Grant to help cover the difference in tuition
cost. Students must complete 80% of the required amount of work per session in order to qualify and receive the LU Grant. If a
student is taking three different sessions, the student must complete at least 80% of his/her Work and Learn hours during
each individual class session. If a student completes less than 80% of Work and Learn hours, the student will be required to
pay the difference of Work and Learn hours not completed (at $8 an hour), plus the cost of the LU Grant. The 80% is not the entire
summer session, but per class. Work and Learn hours do not carry from one class session to the next.
