How to Contact Lincoln Memorial University or Visit Its Campus
Updated
Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) provides several official channels for contacting the university, and prospective students can arrange a campus visit through the Visit LMU page. The main entry points are the Contact Us page, the Faculty & Staff Directory, and the Campus Tour/Visit LMU links on lmunet.edu. Below is how each channel works and what to expect.
Contacting LMU
LMU's website organizes contact options by purpose rather than listing a single general phone number on the homepage. The main routes are:
- Contact Us page — the general starting point for reaching the university. Use this for admissions questions, general inquiries, or when you are unsure which office to contact.
- Faculty & Staff Directory — a searchable listing for reaching a specific person or department directly. This is the better option if you already know who you need (for example, an admissions counselor for a specific program or a faculty member in a given school).
- Request Information forms — separate forms exist for Undergraduate and Graduate prospective students. Submitting one puts you in touch with admissions rather than a general inbox.
- MyLMU portal — the internal portal for current students, faculty, and staff. It is not a public contact channel.
- LMU Newsroom — for media inquiries and press-related contact.
Which channel should you use?
| Your situation | Best channel |
|---|---|
| General question, unsure who to ask | Contact Us page |
| Question about applying as a first-year or transfer student | Undergraduate Request Information |
| Question about a graduate or professional program | Graduate Request Information |
| Need to reach a specific professor or office | Faculty & Staff Directory |
| Current student needing account or course tools | MyLMU portal |
| Press or media request | LMU Newsroom |
Visiting Campus
LMU offers a Campus Tour and a Visit LMU entry point from the main navigation. These are the official ways to arrange a visit rather than simply arriving unannounced.
Before you go, it helps to know what the university itself highlights as worth seeing:
- Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum — described by LMU as one of the world's largest private collections. This is a distinctive stop that general campus tours at other schools would not include.
- Campus Tour / Visit LMU — the structured visit experience for prospective students.
- Homecoming — listed under the About section, relevant if you are an alumnus planning a return trip rather than a first visit.
If you are visiting specifically to evaluate the school as a prospective student, pair the campus tour with a Request Information submission so admissions has your details on file.
Key Resources and Entry Points
Beyond contact and visits, lmunet.edu links to several resources that different audiences use:
- MyLMU — the portal for current students, faculty, and staff.
- Library — the university library, listed under Academics.
- Bookstore — including the LMU Book Bundle.
- Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum — open as a visitor attraction as well as a university resource.
- LMU Creator Challenge — a current engagement opportunity featured on the homepage.
Information organized by audience
The site's "Information For" section splits resources by who you are:
- Future Student — admissions, programs, and visit information.
- Current Student — MyLMU, course schedules, and student life.
- Parent/Guardian — relevant policies and campus information.
- Community Member — public-facing resources such as the museum.
- Alumni — Homecoming and giving.
What to Know Before You Reach Out
A few details from LMU's own materials can help you frame your questions:
- LMU describes 125 years of academic history and an average student-to-faculty ratio of 9:1, with over 30 academic majors.
- Enrollment is reported as nearing 7,000, described as a sixth consecutive record year.
- The university is in Eastern Tennessee, which matters if you are planning travel for a campus visit.
If your question is about a specific program, check whether it sits under one of LMU's colleges and schools first — for example, the School of Medical Sciences, the Carter and Moyers School of Education, the Duncan School of Law, or the Caylor School of Nursing — since that determines which office you should contact through the directory.
