FOREWORD The Lincoln University Undergraduate Bulletin is published every two years, effective from the beginning of a fall semester to the end of a summer session; and contains the academic regulations and degree requirements of the University. It also serves as a guide to the academic programs of the University and is intended to assist students in the selection of their programs of study. The information contained in this publication is current and accurate at the time of printing. However, because changes in economic conditions and/or student program needs may occur at any time within the two-year period, Lincoln University reserves the right to adjust fee schedules, admission requirements, academic policies, curricula, and other institutional regulations and requirements as necessary; and to discontinue or change programs listed in the Lincoln University Undergraduate Bulletin; and to cancel any class listed in a Schedule of Courses. Students will be notified of changes through departmental correspondence and/or institutional postings. Students are expected to be familiar with the information contained in the Bulletin. Students are also responsible for knowing and understanding regulations and policies and for meeting all deadlines and requirements of admission, registration and degree programs. Failure to read the information provided will not be considered an excuse for noncompliance. A student may choose to satisfy the requirements for graduation from any one Bulletin issued in the eight years prior to the awarding of a bachelor's degree or the three years prior to the awarding of an associate degree, provided the student was enrolled during the school year for which that Bulletin was issued. Should revisions of the information contained in this document occur, the information will be published online and distributed through the various offices of the University. This Bulletin reflects University policy as of July 2023.

UNIVERSITY PROFILE MISSION
Lincoln University of Missouri is a historically Black, 1890 land-grant, public, comprehensive institution that provides excellent educational opportunities including theoretical and applied learning experiences to a diverse population within a nurturing, student-centered environment.
HISTORY
Lincoln University (LU), founded in 1866 through the cooperative efforts of the soldiers and officers of the 62nd and 65th Colored Infantries, was established to meet the educational and social needs of freed African Americans. The founding principles, capsulized in the University's motto, “Laborare et Studere” (to work and to study), set forth by these courageous men still guide and inspire the institution. While remaining committed to the founding principles, the University’s mission has evolved to embrace the needs of a significantly diverse population reflecting various social, economic, educational, and cultural backgrounds. Lincoln University strives to offer relevant, high-quality undergraduate and select graduate programs that are grounded in the liberal arts and sciences and prepare students for careers and life-long learning. At the end of the Civil War, soldiers and officers of the 62nd and 65th United States Colored Infantries, composed primarily of Missourians, stationed at Fort McIntosh, Texas, took steps to establish a school in Missouri with the following stipulations: • The institution would be designed for the special benefit of freed African Americans; • The institution would be located in the state of Missouri; and • The fundamental idea would be to combine study and labor. When the regiments were mustered out of their military service, former 1st Lt. Richard Baxter Foster, was charged with taking the $6,400 the war veterans had collected to Missouri to establish the school. By June 1866, he had established a Board of Trustees and incorporated the school in Missouri. Foster became the first principal of Lincoln Institute, named in honored of the slain U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. On September 17, 1866, the school opened its doors to the first class in an old frame building in Jefferson City. Lincoln Institute located to the present hilltop campus in 1869 and was authorized to offer normal school training for Black teachers by the state of Missouri in 1870. College curriculum was added in 1877; and passage of the Normal School Law granted Lincoln graduates a lifetime teaching certificate. Lincoln Institute became a state-supported institution in 1879 after the campus property was deeded to the state of Missouri. Under the Second Morrill Act of 1890, Lincoln became a land-grant institution, resulting in industrial and agricultural courses being added to the curriculum. In 1921, the Missouri Legislature passed a bill introduced by Representative Walthall M. Moore, the first Black American to serve in that body, which changed the name of the school to Lincoln University and created a Board of Curators to govern it.
U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 11
The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accredited the high school division in 1925, the teacher-training program in 1926, and the four-year College of Arts and Sciences in 1934. Graduate instruction began in the summer session of 1940, with programs in education and history, and minors in English, history, and sociology. In 1954, the United States Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, and Lincoln University responded by opening its doors to all applicants meeting its entrance criteria. Enrollment climbed from 400 to more than 1,000 students, triggering a move to expand curriculum and facilities. The 1990s saw the growth and integration of nursing, teacher education, computer science and agribusiness into Lincoln’s core offerings. As the school made its way into the 21st century, the University enjoyed a resurgence in athletic programs and technological advancements, both in and out of the classroom. Today, Lincoln University provides an array of academic programs to serve a diverse population of both residential and nonresidential students. The University also engages in a variety of research projects and offers numerous public service programs. The University grants associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees in more than 30 areas of study. .

Homeschooled students must submit a transcript that lists the courses taken and grades earned as well as official ACT or SAT results. The transcript must be notarized with a parent’s or home-school administrator’s signature. Scholarship eligibility will be determined on an individual basis. Applicants who are non-Missouri residents must earn a high school diploma, with at least a “C” average, a 1.8 or greater GPA on a 4.0 scale, and completed/passed all state required exit exams to be eligible for admission to Lincoln University. TRANSFER To be admitted as a transfer student, an applicant must submit the following required documents: • •
A completed application for admission Official transcript(s) from all colleges/universities attended sent from the institutions to the Office of Admissions and Recruitment in a sealed envelope. Students currently enrolled at another college/university should send a current official transcript when applying for admission.
To be admitted to Lincoln University as a transfer student, an applicant must have earned 30 or more credit hours at a post-secondary institution after high school graduation. Transfer students are accepted for admission for the fall, spring, or summer semesters. Credits cannot be transferred to Lincoln from a non-regionally accredited institution. U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 19
Students transferring to Lincoln University from a non-regionally accredited institution will be considered a first-time freshman. Transfer student applicants with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale for all college work attempted, who have earned 30 or more credit hours, and who are in good standing at their most recent college or university attended, are eligible for admission. Transfer student applicants whose cumulative GPA is less than 2.00, but who are eligible to return to their most recent college or university, may be admitted to the University on academic probation. Transfer student applicants who have been suspended for academic reasons from their last institution attended may be eligible for admission to Lincoln University after one semester has elapsed, provided the student is eligible to return to the institution from which they were suspended. Once the period of suspension from the institution has expired, the student may be considered for admission to Lincoln University. An official high school transcript showing the graduation date and ACT or SAT results must be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Recruitment if fewer than 30 credit hours have been earned. TRANSFER OF CREDIT Lincoln University generally accepts credits at full value, provided that the transferring institution is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission or an equivalent accrediting agency. A maximum of 90 credit hours may be accepted for credit from 4-year institutions and a maximum of 64 credit hours may be accepted for credit from 2-year institutions. Credit may be awarded for college-level (non-remedial) courses in which a grade of “C” or better is earned from a college/university outside of the state of Missouri. For colleges/universities inside the state of Missouri, credit may be awarded for college-level (non-remedial) courses in which a grade of “D” or better is earned. However, certain courses offered at Lincoln University require the student to complete the course with a grade of “C” or better in order to receive credit. Therefore, a student may be required to repeat a course in which credit was granted based on a “D” grade. In order to meet the 40-hour upper-division requirement for graduation, courses shown on the transcript are considered at the level taken. Courses from 2-year institutions may not be counted as upper-division, even if they equate to an upper-division course at Lincoln. A transfer student who has completed an Associate of Arts degree (AA) or an Associate of Arts in Teaching degree (AAT) from a Missouri institution with regional accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission will be considered to have satisfactorily completed Lincoln University’s general education requirements A transfer student who has completed any other Associate degree or one outside of the state of Missouri will have their courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis. A transfer student who has completed a Baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution will be considered to have satisfactorily completed Lincoln University’s general education requirements. However, any general education course that is required for the student’s intended major will need to be completed. A transfer student who transfers to Lincoln from a school with which Lincoln has a valid articulation agreement will have their credits transferred to Lincoln as per the terms of the
20 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
articulation agreement. A transfer student who enters Lincoln from a non-Missouri institution and who has met Lincoln University’s general education requirements must successfully complete the Missouri Constitution Test to fulfill their graduation requirements. Lincoln University adheres to the guidelines of the Missouri Articulation Agreement. Transfer course work is evaluated and awarded on the same basis as credit awarded at Lincoln. TRANSFER OF DUAL ENROLLMENT Lincoln will accept for-credit courses taken while enrolled in high school under the Dual Enrollment Program as long as the courses are not vocational in nature and follow the State Guidelines for Dual Enrollment Courses (2009). In order to receive credit, the Office of Admissions and Recruitment must receive an official college transcript from the college or university granting the credit. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT International students are accepted for admission for the fall or spring semester. No international students may begin their initial enrollment at Lincoln during a summer session. Lincoln University is required by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) to verify that international students can finance their entire education at Lincoln University, as well as meet academic and language proficiencies, before an I-20 can be issued. An international student applicant must submit the following required items to be considered for admission: A completed application for admission Official transcripts from all institutions (both secondary and post-secondary) previously attended, translated to English if needed, as well as any applicable external examination results. All transcripts and examination results submitted become the property of Lincoln University • Demonstration of English proficiency (if the student’s native language or their country’s official language is not English) by one of the following: o Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score of 500 (paperbased), 173 (computer-based) or 61 (internet-based) o International English Language Test System (IELTS) overall band score of 5.5 o 75% on the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB) test • Completed Affidavit of Financial Support covering the entire period of expected enrollment • Original/certified bank statement from the student’s family or sponsor(s), dated no more than 6 months prior to date of application, showing enough funds to cover tuition, room and board, and personal funds International applicants are considered non-Missouri residents for both admissions and residency criteria. All application documents must be submitted directly to the Office of Admissions and Recruitment.

International students already in the United States studying at another college/university who wish to transfer to Lincoln University must follow the admissions criteria listed above as well as completing and submitting an International Student Transfer Form to International Student Services. International students must meet the published application deadlines set by the University. It is recommended, however, that international students apply well in advance of those dates, as the process to obtain a student (F-1) VISA can be lengthy. International students must arrive to campus no later than the start of classes date listed on the I-20 in order to attend an Orientation session and to register for classes. International students must submit a Student Health History form showing current immunizations. Enrollment in the student health insurance program is required. Lincoln University will only issue an I-20 when all requirements for admission to the University are met. Obtaining an I-20 from Lincoln University does not guarantee the student will be granted a student (F-1) visa by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. An international student must be enrolled as a full-time student (at least 12 credit hours as an undergraduate student and 9 credit hours as a graduate student) each semester, with the exception of the summer session, in order to maintain proper F-1 visa status. RETURNING STUDENT/READMISSION OF FORMER STUDENTS Undergraduate students who have not enrolled at Lincoln University for one or more semesters (excluding summer) must re-apply for admission by submitting a completed application for admission. If a student is registered for a semester and then withdrew, they may register for the following semester without re-applying for admission. To be eligible to return to Lincoln University as a readmitted student, all outstanding obligations must be satisfied in full before the readmission process is complete. Students who voluntarily left the University while on academic probation must be readmitted on academic probation. Students who left the University after being academically suspended must follow the guidelines for academic suspension listed in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of the Bulletin, before readmission can occur. Students who have an outstanding financial balance to the University must contact the Student Financial Services office to resolve their financial obligation before the readmission process is complete. If a student left the University under any other circumstances, the student should contact the Office of Admissions and Recruitment to ensure their readmission. Students who have attended another college/university since leaving Lincoln University are considered transfer students and must meet the application and admission requirements for transfer students. VISITING/NON-DEGREE SEEKING STUDENTS A student may be admitted as a visiting student to Lincoln University while they are enrolled at an accredited college/university. A student may be admitted as a non-degree seeking student to Lincoln University if the student wishes to enroll in courses for professional or personal growth.

MISSOURI RESIDENCE STATUS
A student’s residency status for fee purposes is determined at the time of admission according to State of Missouri policy (Code of State Regulations 6CSR 10-3.010). Copies of the residency policy and petitions for change of residency status are available on request from Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment. A student who qualifies for Missouri residency maintains that residency as long as they are continuously enrolled. Students who petition for Missouri residency must submit the required documentation to Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment, where the burden of proof of residency lies with the student. The petition for a change of residency status must be completed and submitted no later than the end of the first week of classes of each semester. A student who has moved to Missouri for the primary purpose of attending an institution of higher education shall not be considered a bona fide resident of the state of Missouri. A student who does not reside in Missouri yet claims to be supported wholly or in part by relatives residing in Missouri is considered a non-Missouri resident. International students on a student (F-1) visa cannot be considered Missouri residents.

PAYMENT POLICY
Educational expenses include tuition and tuition-related fees, room, board, and other miscellaneous fees. Educational expenses less awarded and accepted financial aid are due in full by the published last day to pay, generally the last business day before classes begin. However, those students who wish to pay their educational expenses in installments may request a deferred payment plan. This must be completed each semester in which the student is enrolled. DEFERRED PAYMENT PLANS Lincoln University offers a selection of interest-free deferred payment plans that allow a variety of down payment amounts and repayment periods. When making payment on the last day to pay, a student is required to make a minimum down payment of 50% of educational expenses less awarded and accepted financial aid. The remaining 50% is U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 29
payable in three installments due in each of the first three full months of the semester. Enrolling in a deferred payment plan earlier than the last day to pay will allow a greater number of payment plan options. The deferred payment plans are offered through Nelnet Business Solutions and can be accessed via Self Service on the Lincoln University website. There is a $25 fee to participate in a deferred payment plan.
STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE
All international students (undergraduate, graduate, full-time and part-time) are required to participate in the University’s mandatory student health insurance program and will be charged for health insurance. Charges will be assessed to the student’s account based on the contracted rates through the insurance carrier. Students may waive insurance by completing the approved paperwork and providing proof of comparable coverage.
BOOK VOUCHERS
Students having excess financial aid after tuition and other charges are paid may charge books up to the amount of excess aid (some limitations may apply). Financial aid must be awarded and completed in order to charge books. Students eligible for book vouchers will receive communication from the bookstore once their voucher is available. Book vouchers are valid through the first week of class. Book vouchers may also be available to students who are sponsored by an employer or governmental agency.
FAILURE TO MAKE SATISFACTORY PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
Students who fail to make satisfactory payment arrangements by the established payment deadline may be deregistered from their classes. This is completed solely at the discretion of the University and does not relieve the student of the responsibility to properly withdraw from classes. Students who fail to properly withdraw from classes after being deregistered will be fully liable for all charges on their student account.
REFUND AND ADJUSTMENT OF FEES
Tuition and certain related fees may be fully or partially refunded according to the following schedule upon withdrawal from a course or from the university: Refund Schedule for 16-week Classes During the first calendar week of classes .......................................................

FINANCIAL AID Financial aid is intended primarily to supplement the resources of students and their parent(s). Financial assistance is based on both need and academic achievement. Generally, a combination of these factors will be used in determining the type and amount of financial assistance available to each applicant. Funds are provided by various agencies: federal, state and local government, universities, community organizations, private corporations, and individuals. How to Apply for Financial Aid To apply for federally funded financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the academic year they wish to attend beginning October 1st of every year. The FAFSA may be completed by: • Accessing FAFSA on the web at www.fafsa.gov. • Obtaining a paper copy of FAFSA by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243 and returning it by mail Students defaulting on a student loan at Lincoln University, or any other institution will not be eligible for financial assistance until the default has been properly resolved. Priority Dates The priority date for receiving some federal financial aid is February 1 for fall semester, October 1 for spring semester, and April 1 for the summer session. Financial Aid information received after these dates may still be considered and aid awarded with any funds that may be available. Students will be processed on a first-come, first-awarded basis.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY FOR FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS
Eligibility to receive financial aid from federal Title IV aid programs requires that students maintain satisfactory academic progress. In response to requirements within the law for these programs, the University has developed this policy in addition to existing academic policy and designated that it also extends to selected state and institutional programs of assistance. Purpose The intent of this policy is to: • Ensure that students using financial aid programs are demonstrating responsible use of public funds in pursuit of their educational goals • Set standards for monitoring all financial aid recipients’ course completion rates each term, warning individual students when progress is so slow that financial aid eligibility may run out before completion of the degree program; and • Give students whose progress does not meet the standards of this policy at least one term of financial aid on a probationary basis in which to improve their academic progress Definitions Attempted course: A course which remains on the student’s record after the first three weeks of the term. Completed course/earned credit: A course in which a grade of A, B, C, D, or S was
32 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
received. Withdrawals, no credits, blank grades, incomplete grades (I or X), failures (F), or unsatisfactory (U) are not considered “earned credit” for meeting progress requirements. Financial aid: Federal Title IV programs, plus the state and institutional programs listed below: • Federal Pell Grant • Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG) • Federal Work Study • Federal Direct Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized) • Federal Direct PLUS Loan • Missouri State Financial Assistance Programs • Foundation Scholarships/Grants • Scholarships (LU or Departmental) • Tuition Waiver (except graduate and employee waivers) Financial aid probation: The status of a student who has been identified as not meeting one or more standards in this policy but continues to receive financial aid. At the end of the term of financial aid probation, a student is expected to improve their academic progress in order to receive financial aid. Financial aid termination: The point at which a student is no longer eligible to receive financial aid as defined in the policy; normally, this is following an unsuccessful term of probation. Incomplete: a grade of “I” or “X” received for an attempted course; no credit until the course is completed. Maximum timeframe: Time limit set for receipt of financial aid that is specific to a student’s program of study. For undergraduate programs, federal law defines this limit as 150% of normal program length. Satisfactory academic progress: Completion of courses at a rate that meets the standard defined in this policy. Transfer credit: Course(s) accepted for credit at Lincoln University from another institution. Authority The Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended and final regulations set by the United States Department of Education (34CFR668.16) require that institutions of higher education establish reasonable standards of satisfactory academic progress as a condition of continuing eligibility for federal aid programs. Nothing in this policy shall be construed as an exemption of the requirements of any other federal or state agency, or other granting or governing authority that apply to what assistance a student receives, nor does this policy limit the authority of the director of Financial Aid when taking responsible action to eliminate fraud or abuse in these programs.
SATISFACTORY PROGRESS STANDARDS
To remain eligible for financial aid assistance a student must: • Complete courses at an overall rate which will ensure graduation within the maximum timeframe. • Earn credit for a reasonable number of credit hours toward a degree or certification each term. • Complete pre-college-level and incomplete courses in a timely manner, and U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 33
•
graduate prior to the maximum timeframe specific to their degree program. Maintain academic standing consistent with Lincoln University academic policy, and the Office of Student Financial Services SAP Policy.
MAXIMUM TIMEFRAME To retain financial aid eligibility, a student must complete their degree program within a specified time limit, defined in cumulative attempted hours for undergraduate students. Attempted hours for this purpose include regular and pre-college-level course hours, as well as accepted transfer credit. Once a student reaches the maximum timeframe, they are ineligible for financial aid. Maximum time to degree completion is as follows: First baccalaureate degree ..................................................................... 186 attempted hours Second baccalaureate degree.................................................................. 60 attempted hours Graduate degree ..................................................................................... 54 attempted hours Undergraduate appeals for an additional term of financial aid eligibility cannot be granted in excess of 150% of program length (1.5 x 124) or 186 hours. QUANTITATIVE MEASURE (PACE OF COMPLETION) The Cumulative Completion Rate (credit hours earned divided by credit hours attempted) measures the quantity of a student’s progress. Students are required to complete 2/3 (66.67%) of attempted credit hours. COURSES AND GRADES CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS All courses attempted and on the academic record (that is, every time a student is enrolled in a course past the add/drop date, the course will count as an attempt) at the time of progress check are considered when determining the Cumulative Completion Rate. Satisfactory completion rates for this student are as follows: 1-59 cumulative attempted hours ................................................................ 67% completion 60-and above cumulative attempted hours .................................................. 67% completion **Second Baccalaureate attempted** 0-42 cumulative attempted hours ................................................................ 67% completion The completion rate is calculated annually for federal Title IV funds and each semester for state funds. QUALITATIVE MEASURE (GPA) The quality of a student's progress is measured by grade point average (cumulative GPA). The minimum cumulative GPA for financial aid recipients is the same as the academic standard for Lincoln University: UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS • Hours Attempted o 1-59: Minimum cumulative GPA 1.67 o 60-and above: Minimum cumulative GPA 2.0
34 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
GRADUATE STUDENTS All Graduate students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 MINIMUM COMPLETION WITHIN A TERM A financial aid recipient is to earn credit for at least one course per term. A student who receives financial aid but does not earn credit for any course within a term is not to receive financial aid in subsequent terms. If mitigating circumstances were responsible for zero completion hours within a term, a student may appeal and be granted a term of financial aid probation if adequate documentation is provided (e.g., doctor’s statement). INCOMPLETE GRADES Students receiving incomplete grades (“I” or “X”) are not progressing satisfactorily. Consequently, a student who has six or more hours of incompletes in any term or at any time will be placed on financial aid probation for the next term of attendance and expected to complete the courses according to the University’s “Incomplete Coursework” grade policy. A reduced course load may be recommended during the term of financial aid probation to ensure that both the course(s) with incomplete grades and new attempted courses can be satisfactorily completed by the close of that term. GRADE POINT AVERAGE/SUSPENSION Students must meet the University’s policy on scholastic standing and grade point average as defined in the appropriate Bulletin. A student on scholastic suspension has not maintained acceptable academic progress. The Office of Student Financial Services initially will block that student from receiving financial aid any other subsequent term. If readmitted or reinstated, the student may appeal (only if there is/was a mitigating circumstance that cause the student to not progress during the term of suspension) to receive financial aid during a term of financial aid probation.
NOTIFICATION OF FINANCIAL AID, PROBATION, OR TERMINATION
The Office of Student Financial Services will send an email to any student who is placed on probation or a termination notification to any student who is no longer eligible for financial aid. This email will be sent to the student’s Lincoln University e-mail address or personal email address that was provided to the University from their FASFA application. REINSTATEMENT FINANCIAL AID MAY BE REINSTATED WHEN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS HAS BEEN MET: • Undergraduate with greater than 160 attempted hours and no degree: The student must appeal on the appropriate form and provide a graduation plan signed by the academic advisor. If the plan is considered reasonable, the student will receive financial aid on probation for one or more terms until the degree is completed. • Student on financial aid probation: The student may regain eligibility in one of two ways after a term of financial aid probation: 1) by meeting the completion standards which apply to the student after financial aid probation under this policy (e.g., the minimum 67% completion rate); and/or 2) by improving their cumulative grade point average (see the Qualitative Measure chart for specifics). • Student with grade changes: The student can regain financial aid eligibility by U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 35
• •
notifying the Office of Student Financial Services of the grade change, including grades updated for incomplete courses. Student previously suspended: A student who loses financial aid eligibility at the time of suspension from the University must appeal on the appropriate form to receive approval for a term of financial aid probation if reinstated or readmitted. Student terminated under prior policies or for zero completion: If the student wishes to enroll, they may do so at their own expense and must continue to pay until both the quantitative and qualitative measures have been satisfied.
FINANCIAL AID APPEALS Students who wish to appeal termination of their financial aid eligibility must do so in writing to the Office of Student Financial Services by the fifth (5th) day of class in each semester. Students who are suspended from federal financial aid may complete an appeal form for reinstatement of eligibility if extenuating circumstances have contributed to their inability to meet the requirements for satisfactory academic progress, and the students’ circumstances have changed such that they are likely to be able to meet those requirements at the next evaluation or through an appropriate academic plan. Extenuating circumstances include, but are not limited to, the following: • • • •
Death of an immediate family member Severe injury or illness of the student or an immediate family member Legal separation from spouse or divorce Military reassignment or required job transfers or shift changes
STUDENTS WHO HAVE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES MAY APPEAL USING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES: • Submit a completed Appeal Form online and additional supporting documentation. Submission of additional supporting documentation is optional. The form is available on the Financial Services "Forms Page" on the University website. All supporting documentation that a student wishes to have reviewed by the appeal committee should be submitted by the student. • The appeal packet is presented to the Lincoln University’s Financial Aid Appeal Review Committee for review. Deadline submission and result notification dates will be communicated. The Appeal Information deadline is provided in the student’s Lincoln University’s email notification and also available on the FA Appeal form. • The student is notified via their Lincoln University email account of the Committee's decision and recommendations • The Committee's decision is final FINANCIAL AID APPEALED PROBATION Financial aid appealed probation is a status assigned to students whose written appeal has been reviewed by the Appeal Committee and the decision was made to reinstate aid for one semester. Students will be required to meet minimum satisfactory academic progress requirements for the semester while in appealed probation status. Minimum satisfactory academic progress requirements for the term (semester) are defined as a term GPA of 1.67 (if under 60 undergrad hours) or 2.0 (if over 60 undergrad hours) AND a 66.67% term pace of completion rate for an undergraduate student. Graduate
36 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
students must meet a 66.67% term pace of completion rate and a term GPA of 3.0. The individual academic plan will consist of the individual academic requirements that the student needs to obtain in order to graduate from Lincoln University before reaching the federal aid maximum timeframe. At the end of the appealed probation semester, a student's cumulative GPA and Cumulative Completion Rate will be reviewed to determine if the student met minimum satisfactory academic progress for the term (semester). WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE APPEALED PROBATION SEMESTER IS COMPLETE? A student may regain or lose federal eligibility following the appealed probation/ probation with academic plan semester. The status for the semester following the appealed probation semester will fall into one of the categories below: • Remain in Probation with Academic Plan status. In order to remain in this appealed probation status, a student must meet minimum satisfactory academic progress requirements for the term (semester) as well as his or her academic success plan requirements. The student will continue to have an individual academic plan for regaining Satisfactory Academic Progress. Students who move back to a suspension status will not have aid in place the next semester and have the option of reinstatement. Students who move to a satisfactory status will have aid reinstated and will be reviewed again at the time of the next upcoming satisfactory academic progress evaluation. • Move back to a suspension status. If a student does not meet either: o The required pace of completion or GPA for the semester OR o The requirements of their academic plan the student's status will return to suspension and will no longer be eligible for federal aid. MOVE TO A SATISFACTORY STATUS If a student meets the overall GPA and Cumulative Completion Rate (while meeting maximum timeframe conditions) for satisfactory academic progress, aid will be reinstated. SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS APPLICATION TO STUDENTS NOT RECEIVING FEDERAL STUDENT AID Lincoln University does not award federal financial aid to students who are ineligible due to being non-degree seeking or failing to meet other eligibility requirements. Students who apply for aid after enrolling at Lincoln University must meet all general eligibility requirements including Satisfactory Academic Progress before any federal aid is awarded. ATTENDANCE AND FINANCIAL AID GUIDELINES The Lincoln University Class Attendance Policy explains how attendance may affect a student’s grade. Students must attend classes in order to continue receiving financial assistance. FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENT REFUND POLICY If a student withdraws or is expelled from Lincoln, the University or the student may be required to return a portion of the federal funds awarded to the student. The student may be eligible for a refund of a portion of the tuition, fees, room and board paid to the University for the semester. If the student received financial assistance from outside of the federal award, a portion of the refund will be returned to the grant, scholarship or loan source from U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 37
which the assistance was received. A student withdrawing from the University should do so through the Office of the Registrar in B-4 Young Hall to insure maximum refund of institutional charges. If the student received Direct Student Loans at any time, the student is required to complete Loan Exit Counseling by visiting the Office of Student Financial Services (103 Young Hall). Withdrawal from the University due to properly documented military service or extraordinary medical circumstances may be grounds for a partial or full refund of fees. Such requests submitted during the semester must be submitted to the Bursar for consideration. Requests submitted for prior semesters must be submitted to the Academic Routine Committee for consideration. Tuition fees may be fully or partially refunded upon withdrawal from a sixteen-week course or from the University to students in good standing according to the following schedule: • During the first calendar week of classes ............................................Full Refund • During the second calendar week of classes ....................................... 50% Refund • During the third calendar week of classes .......................................... 25% Refund • After the third calendar week of classes ............................................... No Refund For an eight-week class, a 100% refund is allowed during the first calendar week of class. No refunds are available after the first week. For a four-week class, a 100% refund is allowed through the first day of class. No refunds are available after the first day. The federal formula requires a return of Title IV aid if the student received federal financial assistance in the form of a Pell Grant, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, Federal Direct Student Loan or PLUS loan and withdrew on or before completing 60% of the semester. The percentage of Title IV aid to be returned is equal to the number of calendar days remaining in the semester divided by the number of calendar days in the semester. Scheduled breaks of more than four consecutive days are excluded. If any funds are to be returned after the return of Title IV aid, they will be used to repay state funds, other private sources, and the student in proportion to the amount received from each non-federal source as long as there was no unpaid balance at the time of withdrawal. If there was an unpaid balance, then all aid sources will be repaid before any funds are returned to the student. NOTE: If funds have been released to a student because of a credit balance on the student’s account, the student may be required to repay some of the federal grant(s) if the student withdraws. The University will not repay the federal grant funds on behalf of the student. Worksheets used to determine the amount of refund or return of Title IV aid are available upon request. The Office of Student Financial Services notifies students by mail of the amount the student is required to repay. The student will then have 30 days to either remit the full amount or make satisfactory arrangements for repayment with the Office of Student Financial Services in Room 105 Young Hall, telephone number (573) 681-5278. Failure to repay the amount owed in a timely manner will result in a financial hold being placed against the student’s Lincoln University records.

TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid is divided into four categories: grants, loans, employment and scholarships. Scholarship and grant monies are funds awarded with no requirements for repayment; loans are funds awarded with provisions for monthly repayment at low interest rates. The Lincoln University Department of Student Financial Aid administers the following: GRANTS • FEDERAL PELL GRANT An undergraduate student carrying at least a half-time course load is eligible to apply for the Pell Grant. •
FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT (SEOG) An undergraduate student with exceptional financial need is eligible to apply for the SEOG.
•
MISSOURI GRANT Missouri residents are eligible to apply, and must be full-time in order to receive the grant. Applicants must submit the completed FAFSA application prior to April 1. For returning students to be eligible, they must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.5.
LOANS FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN For disbursement of the loan to be applied to your account, you must be enrolled and attending as a half-time student -- at least six credit hours for undergraduates and five credit hours for graduates -- to be considered eligible. Applicants must complete the FAFSA and Student Loan Request Form. Loans are funds that are borrowed and must be repaid. Repayment begins six months after the last date of enrollment, which can be graduation, when less than half-time enrollment status occurs or when the student withdraws and does not reenroll. As with any loan, interest is charged. However, the interest on a student loan is lower than it would be on a regular consumer loan. First-time borrowers are required to participate in an Entrance Counseling session before their loan funds are disbursed. A Master Promissory Note (MPN) is required for all borrowers who are new to the Federal Direct Loan program or transferring into Lincoln University. PARENT LOAN FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS (PLUS) This program enables parents to borrow money to assist in the postsecondary education expenses of their dependent undergraduate children who are enrolled at least half-time. Once a parent applies and is approved, a Master Promissory Note (MPN) must be on file with the Department of Education before the disbursement of funds. The University may also request a Parent Excess Authorization Form to be completed by the parent borrowing the loan directing the University how to disburse the excess funds applied to the student’s account. EMPLOYEMENT FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAM (FWSP) The Work Study Program is sponsored by the University and the federal government to provide part-time employment funding to students in need of earnings to meet their cost of U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 39
education. A student must be enrolled in at least six hours each semester and three hours during the summer session to participate in the FWSP.

CAMPUS LIFE HOUSING AND DINING Housing is available to any University student and mandatory for those meeting the requirements of the University’s housing policy identified below. To receive a housing assignment, the student must complete and sign a housing contract and remit a $150.00 non-refundable housing fee. Rooms are double occupancy, unless a private room is requested and available. Contracts are available online. Housing contracts are legally binding for the entire academic year unless eligible for a Spring only lease. Students residing in campus housing are required to purchase the unlimited meal plan option, with the exception of students residing in the Anthony Hall suites, who are required to have a minimum 5-meal plan option. Room and board charges are established for the academic year and applied each semester to a resident’s student account. Students who are required to reside on campus who choose not to will still be billed the full amount of their room and board. Residence halls are officially closed between semesters. However, students may remain on campus for a nominal fee. A resident desiring accommodation during these periods must make arrangements with the Office of Residential Life. If a student arranges to stay on campus, there will be a flat fee charged that will not be prorated if a student opts to leave prior to the start of the upcoming semester. Additionally, if a student is found to be occupying or accessing the buildings during these periods after the end of the semester without prior authorization and payment, charges will be automatically applied to the student’s account in full. CAMPUS HOUSING POLICY The educational value of campus residence living has long been established. To this effect, the area of Student Affairs administers an on-campus housing policy. The following are the rules and regulations of this policy: • •
• •
•
All entering unmarried freshmen under 21 years of age, and whose primary domicile is beyond a 60-mile radius of the University, are required to live on campus for four (4) consecutive semesters Unless a part of the Honors Program, entering freshmen will be placed in Dawson Hall as their domicile for the Academic Year. If a space is not available in Dawson Hall, the entering freshmen will be placed in designated Freshmen/First Year student overflow until such time as a space in Dawson Hall becomes available. All unmarried international students under the age of 21 are required to reside on campus for four (4) consecutive semesters. All unmarried transfer students under the age of 21, and whose primary domicile is beyond a 60-mile radius of the University, are required to reside in the campus residence halls for the remainder of four (4) consecutive semesters; e.g. students who lived on campus at another institution for one (1) semester are required to live in the campus residence halls for three (3) semesters. Room and board are mutually inclusive components of this contract and all students living on campus must have a meal plan. ALL students who meet the on-campus housing criteria will be billed for the room and board charges. This

means even if you decide to forego living on campus, you will still be billed for a meal plan and room charges. Married students, students with young children, and Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces are exempt from living on campus. Proof may be required by the Office of Residential Life. Students who desire exemption from this policy must file a written request to the Office of Residential Life Appeals Board. In the event rooms on campus are not available to accommodate all students affected by the On-Campus Housing Policy, a waiting list will be maintained. Those students on the waiting list will be furnished with a list of off-campus realtors. Those students will be responsible for their own housing that semester. If the lease for off-campus housing is a 12-month lease, students will be expected to fulfill the requirements of Lincoln University and spend two concurrent semesters on campus. Students on the waiting list will be notified when space is available for them to move on campus. Each student living off campus due to unavailable space must report to the Office of Residential Life with their current address and phone number. These students will be notified by mail of their room assignment on campus for the following semester/year. If a student is found in violation of the Student Code of Conduct and/or residential hall policies and is suspended or removed from University housing, s/he will still be responsible for their room and board charges for the semester; regardless of when the infraction occurred. Living on campus is a privilege. All students are accountable for the personal and common spaces they occupy. If damages are made to a residential community and a perpetrator is not identified, then the entire community (floor, wing or building) will be responsible for the charges associated with those damages. A minimum charge of $20 will be assessed to each student’s account when community damages occur. Lincoln is a smoke free campus, including all residential buildings (rooms, lobbies, kitchens, etc. Students who are found violating this policy will be sent through the Student Conduct System and, based on the extent of the infraction, subject to removal from the residence halls. The Office of Residential Life and Housing reserves the right to consolidate students based on room availability, i.e. single students in separate rooms/suites may be reassigned to the same to accommodate transitions and other University housing issues. Notification of housing assignments will be sent to students’ local addresses between mid-July and prior to the opening of residence halls in August. The official residence hall contract explicitly states the mutual rights and responsibilities of the University and its residential students. In the spirit and intent of the University Oath, it is the position of the University that on-campus living is a privilege for students and not an obligation of the University. Consequently, Lincoln University reserves the right to negotiate and/or terminate contractual arrangements between its students at any time it deems appropriate.
Cancellations • RELEASE: Requests for cancellation by the student are at the sole discretion of the University, as well as any payment or settlement fee. A written request is U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 45

The prorated amount will end on the approved move-out date listed on the cancellation form. After the first three weeks from the starting date of the academic semester, the University reserves the right to charge the semester or contract price in full as applicable. BOARD: As room and board are mutually inclusive, prorated amounts (if applicable) will include the costs of both.

If you are assigned housing at any time, your contract will continue through the end of the Spring Semester. There are NO FALL ONLY lease contracts available. You must complete the terms of your contract unless the following specific criteria are met: o Student is transferring to another university o Student is no longer enrolled for SPRING Semester o Student has become married o Student has become pregnant or has an unforeseen health ailment resulting in a medical withdrawal o Student has been called to active duty for military service o Student is participating in a study abroad, internship program, or is graduating at the end of FALL Current students that meet these criteria will not be charged a cancellation fee, but will be asked for proof such as medical documents, proof of transfer, a copy of official military orders, proof of graduation, etc. Residents that wish to cancel due to these criteria will be charged the current semester in full and will be expected to move out by the end of the semester. UNAUTHORIZED MOVE-OUT: Current residents who do not qualify for cancellation and decide to move out and choose to live off campus without authorization will be charged the full contract price. SUMMER CANCELLATIONS: Cancellations for summer session are subject to the same requirements as academic cancellation. Due to the short timeframe of summer session, the University reserves the right to charge the contract price in

full as applicable. APPEALS: Residents must file a written request to the Office of Residential Life Appeals Board, c/o Vice President for Student Affairs, 303 Young Hall, Jefferson City MO 65102. All decisions of the Appeals Board are final.
ROOM ENTRY Lincoln University reserves the right to enter all areas of the campus and residence halls, including resident rooms, if there is reason to believe that a health or safety emergency exits. Maintenance, property inventory and inspection, safety and sanitation inspections will occur on a regular basis. Every effort will be made to conduct such inspections while the assigned student is present. At that time, the student will be fully appraised of their rights and the purpose of the inspection. ABANDONED PROPERTY The University assumes no responsibility for any property or personal items, such as clothing, books, clocks, computers, radios, toiletry articles, etc., left in the residential hall rooms or building by a student leaving the campus at the end of or during each semester or summer session. If contact cannot be made with the owner or the student’s family within 24 hours or if the owner is unknown, the abandoned items will be discarded.
STUDENT HEALTH AND COUNSELING SERVICES

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES An important aspect of being a college student is understanding academic terminology. All academic degrees are based on credit hours earned. A baccalaureate degree is typically 120-124 credit hours of coursework; Listed below are common academic terms relating to the baccalaureate degree.
COURSEWORK AND CREDIT HOURS
SEMESTER CREDIT HOUR Students are awarded credit for coursework based on the Carnegie unit, a system measuring educational credit based on the number of classroom or direct faculty instruction and out-ofclass student work per week during a semester term. The semester credit hour is defined as one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-ofclass student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one hour of credit. Two or three hours of laboratory work are equivalent to one, 50-minute lecture period. Courses offered in alternative formats (i.e., four- or eight-week sessions, intersession) must meet for a time period that equates to the 50-minute period times fifteen weeks (for a total of 750 minutes per credit hour offered). Example: A three-hour, four-week summer course that meets for four days each week must meet for 150 minutes each day. COURSES NUMBERING SYSTEM
100-199 Freshmen-level
Entry-level courses that have only skill development courses for course prerequisites. (Test scores, etc. are acceptable prerequisites.) Considered lower-division.

Fall and Spring Semesters • 19-21 semester hours.......................GPA 3.00 and advisor's approval documented • Above 21 semester hours..............GPA 3.00 and advisor's and college dean's approval documented Summer Session • 10-12 semester hours......................GPA 3.00 and advisor's approval documented • 13-16 semester hours....................GPA 3.50 and advisor's and college dean's approval documented
GRADING SYSTEM
GRADES • "A" work of exceptionally high quality • "B" work of superior quality but somewhat lower than "A" • "C” work of medium or average quality • "D" work of an inferior quality • "F” failing work • "S" work of satisfactory quality "U" work of unsatisfactory quality • "I" indicates a student has maintained an average of "D" or better but has not completed a small but essential part of the regular coursework • "X" indicates a student was absent from the final examination with the prior approval of the instructor or the dean of the college in which the course was taken
58 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
• •
"W" indicates a student has officially dropped after the last day to register and/or add courses in any given term or semester and if a student withdraws from all courses in which the student was originally enrolled "H" indicates a student has been a “hearer” (auditor) in a course
Note: All grades are final except “I” and “X.” GRADE POINTS • "A" 4 grade points per semester hour • "B" 3 grade points per semester hour • "C" 2 grade points per semester hour • "D" 1 grade point per semester hour • "F" 0 grade points per semester hour • "S" 0 grade points per semester hour • "U" 0 grade points per semester hour • “W” 0 grade points per semester hour GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) Grade point average is the average number of grade points earned per credit hours attempted. In the cumulative GPA calculation, if a course is repeated, then only the highest grade earned is included in the total grade points calculation, and the credit hours are counted only once in the total credit hours attempted. Credit-by-examination (departmental and/or CLEP) and cooperative education credits are not calculated into the GPA. Transfer credit is not included in the GPA calculation except when otherwise specified for certain awards and honors. Courses in which an “I,” “X,” “H,” “S,” “U,” or “W” are received are not included in computing the GPA. REPEATED COURSES A student may repeat for a higher grade any course in which a "D" or "F" was earned. Only the highest grade earned will count in the GPA if the previous grade is a “D” or “F.” A course in which a "B" or "C" is earned may not be retaken in order to achieve a higher grade. If a course is repeated, all grades obtained in that course remain on the student's transcript. GRADE REPORTS Grades are reported twice each semester - after the first eight weeks (mid-term) and at the end of a semester. Mid-term grades are not recorded on a student's permanent record. Final grades are reported at the end of each semester and are recorded on a student's permanent record. GRADE REEVALUATION A student who has reasons that can be substantiated may request a grade correction according to the following procedure: • The student must first meet with the instructor (or department head, if the instructor is no longer employed) and request a reevaluation of their performance in class • The instructor, upon receipt of the student’s request, will review their records. If U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 59
• • •
the instructor determines that the request is valid and substantiated and that a change of grade is justified, the instructor will fill out a change-of-grade form and submit it to the department head for action The department head will forward the form to the dean The dean will forward the form to the vice president for Academic Affairs The vice president for Academic Affairs will forward the form to the Office of the Registrar for final action
If the instructor determines that the request for a change of grade is not justified, the student may appeal. The appeal should be submitted electronically to the Academic Routine Committee (ARC). ASSIGNMENT OF “I” AND “X” GRADES A grade of “I” (Incomplete) may be assigned when, due to unusual circumstances, a student who has maintained an average of “D” or better is unable to complete a small, but significant, part of the coursework. In order to receive an “I”, the student must contact the instructor prior to the end of the semester and request an “I”, providing sound reason as to the necessity. At this time, a form is filled out indicating what the student must do to complete the course and how the completed work will be figured into the final grade. The form is signed by the student, instructor, and department head, and is kept on file in the departmental office. A grade of “X” may be assigned when, through unusual circumstances, a student must miss the final exam of a course. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor prior to the examination, provide sound reason for missing the final, and request the grade of “X”. The instructor must fill out a form and attach the final exam to it. This is kept on file in the departmental office. INCOMPLETE COURSEWORK If a student receives a grade of “I” or “X”, the course must be completed, and the instructor must submit the final grade to the Office of the Registrar. This must occur either: (1) within the first four weeks of the student’s next fall or spring semester of enrollment, or (2) within one calendar year from the end of the semester or summer session in which the “I” or “X” was received if the student does not reenroll the next semester. Once an “I” or “X” grade has been submitted, it cannot be changed until the following semester. Failure to meet the four-week or one-year deadline will automatically cause the incomplete to change to an “F”. The dean of the college in which the course was taken must approve any extension of the time limit. An incomplete grade that has been converted to an “F” may be reconverted to an “I” only with the approval of the appropriate dean. HONORS The Dean's List is compiled at the close of each semester. It includes all students in 12 or more credit hours (full-time) of graded (A-F) coursework earning a grade point average of 3.00 or above, excluding grades in those courses which do not carry credit toward graduation. A student who receives a grade of "I" or "X" will not be considered for the Dean's List for that term. Graduation with honors falls into three categories:

Academic coursework from other colleges and universities accepted for transfer credit toward a degree at Lincoln University will not be included in the computation of the student's official grade point average for the purpose of graduation honors. Those courses that do not carry credit toward graduation at the institution where they were taken shall not count toward academic honors at Lincoln University.
PLACEMENT CRITERIA
In an effort to meet the academic needs of a diverse student population and enable students to be successful, Lincoln University uses a student’s mathematics ACT score to determine the student’s readiness for college-level courses. To assist in the process, students are required to submit ACT scores to the University as a condition of admission. Students who have not taken a college-level mathematics course are placed into the appropriate mathematics class based on their score on the mathematics section of the ACT or the University’s mathematics placement test when ACT scores are not available. Additional guidelines for placement in math courses include the following: • Transfer students who have not taken a college-level mathematics course must submit an ACT/SAT score for placement in mathematics • Visiting students who wish to enroll in math courses are not required to submit ACT scores or take placement tests • International students without ACT/SAT scores must make an appointment with the Department of Science, Technology and Mathematics to take the placement exams for international students prior to the beginning of the semester
OFFICE OF THE REGISTRAR
The Office of the Registrar is the custodian of students’ academic records and upholds the laws governing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The Office of the Registrar offers a broad range of services to support student success at Lincoln University including enrollment verification, third party release, degree verification, honors calculations, publishing course schedules, verifying and posting grades, and transfer courses. The Office of the Registrar is also responsible for assisting students with the following services and procedures: registration, change of major program, change of schedule, withdrawal from the University, withdrawal for military duties, summary check of degree requirements, filing for a degree, enrollment verification, and request for transcripts. REGULAR REGISTRATION Students are assigned an academic advisor when they declare a major. Students may work in Self Service to plan a schedule for any term. All students must request advisor approval in Self Service before registration can be completed. Restrictions must be lifted from a student’s file before they are eligible to register for classes. A student who registers during U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 61
the late registration period will be assessed a $75.00 fee. Additional registration regulations are published in the Schedule of Courses. ADVANCED REGISTRATION Several weeks before the close of each semester, a period will be set aside for currently enrolled students to register for the next semester. Students eligible to participate in Advanced Registration must be currently enrolled and have no outstanding balance with the University. Detailed instructions are published prior to the Advanced Registration period.
CHANGE OF MAJOR PROGRAM
When a student realizes they have other career interests and needs to change their academic program to prepare for it, the student must complete all of the following steps for a change of major program: • • •

Students with more than 45 hours can add classes through Self Service until the last day to register; students with less than 45 hours may add classes with an advisor. Students may drop classes, either through Self Service or with an advisor, through the last day to drop classes. Students should refer to dates as indicated in the academic calendar. No student can drop ALL their courses in Self Service. This must be done through the Office of the Registrar.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNIVERSITY
A student may withdraw from the University at any time prior to the last day to withdraw, which is indicated in the academic calendar. This action is not official until filed with the Office of the Registrar. All requests for withdrawal must be submitted in writing to the Office of the Registrar. Failure to withdraw properly will result in an automatic "F" grade in the affected courses (see Academic Calendar for dates). If students have active restrictions on their account, they must see the Office of the Registrar to withdraw. WITHDRAWAL FOR MILITARY DUTY A person who, in a special situation, is called to active duty in any branch of military service of the United States while enrolled as a student at Lincoln University, will be released from academic responsibilities without penalty. The following options are available: • A student called to active duty may request to withdraw from all classes and receive a full refund of incidental fees/tuition paid for class enrollment.

military orders in order to qualify for refunds of tuition and fees. A student called to active duty who has completed at least 85% percent of the time designated for a course may initiate a request, through the instructor of record, that they be permitted either to receive an "I" grade in the course or to take an early final examination and receive a final grade. Note: This transaction should be properly noted (to include signatures of both the student and instructor, if possible) with a copy of the agreement placed on file in the following offices: Office of the Registrar, department head, college dean, and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
No modifications in any of the policy options will be permitted. Once a student notifies the designated University representative of the decision, the action selected will be considered final. Note: Any property, i.e., equipment, instruments, books, belonging to the University that the student has in their possession should be returned to the lending source prior to separation. The approved "I" grade(s) received by a student called to active military duty before the official close of the academic semester shall be maintained as a part of the academic record until such time as they reenroll in school. Upon reenrollment, the student shall be given up to two (2) full semesters to satisfy the requirements of the course(s) that were left unmet at the time of their departure from the University.
FILING FOR A DEGREE
Filing for a degree begins with requesting your advisor to complete a degree audit for Department Head review. The outcome of this coursework audit will be transmitted to the Office of the Registrar for final review. A student must file on or before the last day to file for degrees for the semester in which the degree is to be received, in accordance with the deadline date listed in the Academic Calendar. Graduate students must file for graduation through the Office of Graduate Studies. DATE OF BULLETIN The Lincoln University Undergraduate Bulletin contains the academic regulations and degree requirements of the University. A student may choose to satisfy these requirements for graduation from any one Bulletin issued in the eight years prior to the awarding of a bachelor's degree or the three years prior to the awarding of an associate degree, provided that they were enrolled during the academic year for which that Bulletin was issued. SUMMARY CHECK OF DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The student is responsible for consulting with a departmental advisor regularly to verify that they are meeting both general education and degree requirements. GRADUATION Formal announcement of graduation is made and degrees are conferred in formal Commencement ceremonies at the close of the spring semester. All students completing graduation requirements are encouraged to participate in the Commencement ceremony. Students must satisfy all academic and financial requirements to be eligible to participate in Commencement ceremonies. U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 63
REQUEST FOR TRANSCRIPTS
A student may request an official transcript at any time from the National Student Clearinghouse website. The release of a student’s transcript requires the absence of any debt to the University. A student should allow up to three full business days for a transcript request to be processed. Processing time for mailed transcripts does not include delivery time. Please allow ample time for your transcript to arrive at your requested destination. The transcript is a complete record of a student’s enrollment at Lincoln University. DELIVERY OPTIONS • Electronic (PDF transcript) o The transcript recipient will be emailed a link to a secure internet page where they can download the official transcript o Printing is allowed o Modifications are not allowed • US Postal Service o Once the transcript request is received in our office, the transcript will be mailed within 1-3 business days. Please allow an additional time for delivery by the United States Postal Service to domestic mailing addresses. No physical transcripts are processed or mailed on days the University is closed. Please plan accordingly with the University holiday schedule. Transcripts are not released for students who have not settled all outstanding tuition and fees. If a hold is indicated on a record when the transcript order is received, the student will be notified and provided contact information to resolve the hold. The Office of the Registrar does not email or fax transcripts. To protect student privacy, requests from anyone other than the student will not be accepted. AUDITING COURSES A student may register to audit any course upon written approval of the instructor. Although an auditing student is not responsible for assignments or examinations, the student is expected to maintain regular attendance in the course. The transcript will carry a grade of “H” (“Hearer”) and no credit is received for auditing a course. A student may not change from “audit” to “credit” after the last day to enroll in courses for credit. A student may change from “credit” to “audit” before the last day for dropping courses. Students are financially liable for any course(s) they audit, and financial aid cannot be awarded to cover the expenses of the audited course(s).
ACADEMIC POLICIES
CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY Research confirms that class attendance is an essential part of the educational experience and a requirement for an adequate evaluation of academic progress. Students are expected to attend all lectures, seminars, laboratories, and field work for each registered class and to complete all work assigned by the instructor.
64 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
Due to the relationship between class attendance and final course grades, total absences ideally should not exceed twice the number of times a class meets per week. Examples: Courses meeting three times/week: maximum of six absences acceptable. Courses meeting one time/week: maximum of two absences acceptable. The maximum acceptable number of absences in other class formats, i.e., eight- week, fourweek summer session, and intersession, should be pro-rated according to the formula above. If a student exceeds the maximum number of acceptable absences for a course, the course instructor may choose to lower the student’s grade by one letter or administratively drop the student from the course. The attendance policy must be clearly stated in the syllabus at the beginning of the course. Attendance policies of individual instructors may vary from the guidelines above provided this policy is clearly stated in the syllabus at the beginning of the course. Class absences are deemed “excused” or “unexcused” at the judgment of the course instructor of record, who may require documentation. The number of permissible absences is at the sound discretion of the individual course instructor, based upon the circumstances involved, and the policies set at the beginning of the semester. Absence from class for any reason does not exempt the student from responsibility of any assigned work, though it is the course instructor’s prerogative to disallow completion of make-up work in any case. In addition, course instructors will determine the following and will post it in all syllabi: • •
Consequences for coming late and leaving class early Make-up policies for course work, quizzes, and exams
University-Approved Absences Excused absences for university-related activities may be issued only by the President, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, or the Vice President of Student Affairs. Notification for excused absences will specify student names, the event, and the time covered by the excused absence. CONDUCT A student is held fully responsible for any breach of generally recognized rules of good conduct. Any student whose character or conduct is deemed harmful to the best interests of the University is subject to dismissal at any time from any course, or from the University, irrespective of academic record. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY/CHEATING The most common forms of academic dishonesty are cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is defined as unauthorized use of any materials, aids or information of assistance in doing any work required as part of a course. Plagiarism is the attempt to pass off another person’s work as one’s own by failing to give credit to the original source of ideas or words. Students who are found to be guilty of academic dishonesty are subject to the policies and procedures U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 65
as outlined below. • • •
Any student guilty of cheating will be reported in writing to the department head and the dean of the college or school of the course involved and to the department head and the dean of the college or school in the student’s major Any student found guilty of cheating may receive, at the discretion of the instructor, a failing grade in the course Disciplinary action for cheating may include suspension for one or more semesters, exclusion from selected programs of study or permanent expulsion from the University
Procedures for implementing Policies 1 and 3 (when action is recommended) shall be the responsibility of the academic unit in which the violation occurred. All students accused of cheating have the right of appeal through normal channels – the instructor, department head and dean. In the case of the Schools of Business, Education and Nursing, the appeal shall go from the instructor to the dean.
ACADEMIC STATUS
GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING A student enrolled in Lincoln University who has a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 is considered to be in good academic standing. DEAN’S LIST The Dean's List is compiled at the close of each semester. It includes all full-time students earning a grade point average of 3.0 or above, excluding grades in those courses which do not carry credit toward graduation. A student who receives a grade of "I" or "X" will not be considered for the Dean's List for that term. ACADEMIC PROBATION AND SUSPENSION A student whose cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 for one full term will be sent a notification letter which warns her/him that they have been placed on academic probation. Course enrollment will be limited to no more than 13 credit hours during the probationary period. Special academic advisement and counseling sessions will be made available to the student on probation, and she/he will be encouraged to repeat those courses in which failures may have occurred. Also, the student will be apprised of the impact which failing to make satisfactory progress can have on financial aid eligibility and her/his status as a student in good standing. A student placed on academic probation after one full term of study must either raise her/his cumulative GPA to at least a 2.0 by the end of the probationary semester or earn at least a 2.5 GPA in that same semester. Students who still fall below these benchmarks for a second consecutive semester will be suspended for one full year. At the point of discharge, suspended students shall be provided specific guidelines to gain readmittance. Students who have been readmitted and again fall under the provisions of academic
66 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
probation are likewise suspended for one year and special academic advisement and counseling sessions shall repeat. APPEALS A student may appeal an action of first suspension by written request to the Academic Routine Committee. The student may request that consideration be given to permit them to return under one of the following conditions: • •
The student presents definitive documentation to show that some unique situation occurred which may have contributed to academic failure in the most recent semester The student presents definitive documentation to show that significant and continuous academic progress has been made in each semester of academic vulnerability
The student must submit an appeal using the Academic Routine Committee (ARC) Appeal Application Form. The ARC will review appeals and make a recommendation to the Provost. Written documentation of the outcome regarding appeals will be provided by the Provost. SUMMER COURSES Courses taken during the Summer session will be treated in the same manner as those taken during the Fall and Spring semesters. Students may be added to or removed from academic probation/suspension for one semester or dismissed depending upon their cumulative GPA.
OBTAINING ALTERNATIVE COLLEGE CREDIT Lincoln University shall offer its students various means of obtaining course credit other than through the traditional classroom/semester format. These means shall include departmental credit-by-exam, the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the Cooperative Education Program (CEP), the Advanced Placement Program (AP courses for high school students), International Baccalaureate (IB), dual credit courses for high school students, experiential learning, advanced placement/credit in foreign languages, conference courses and the Mid-Missouri Associated Colleges and Universities (MMACU) agreement.

DUAL CREDIT COURSES Lincoln University provides a dual credit option as an opportunity for the highly motivated student to obtain college-level credit for courses taken while still enrolled in high school. A high school student who desires to enroll for dual credit (both high school and college) may do so in one of two ways. In the first instance, the student may enroll and attend classes on a college campus and arrange to receive high school credit in addition to the credit earned at the college. In the second instance, the student may enroll in a high school course, which will be taught at a level comparable to that at which college instruction is provided. The student will earn both high school and college credit. The high school site will be the location of the instructional activity. The following eligibility restrictions apply: • Enrollment in a dual-credit course is restricted to high school juniors or seniors who have a minimum overall grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or the equivalent and are recommended by their high school principal or counselor • An exception is made for freshmen and sophomores who meet these requirements and score at the 90th percentile or above on the ACT or SAT • A student seeking to enroll for dual credit must be admitted to the University and must meet the academic prerequisites that both the high school and the University require • A student who wishes to obtain dual credit in an approved course, which is of yearlong high school duration, must have received a grade of "B" in the first semester of the course to be eligible to enroll for dual credit during the second semester of the course For further information, contact Graduate and Extended Studies. DUAL ENROLLMENT Lincoln University provides dual enrollment for eligible high school students who desire to earn college credit on the main campus. Students can earn either college credit or dual credit for courses taken at Lincoln University.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, sets forth requirements designed to protect the privacy of student educational records. The law governs access to records maintained by educational institutions and the release of information from those records. Eligible students have four primary rights under FERPA, including the right to: • Inspect their educational record. • Consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. • Seek correction of their records, to prevent inaccurate or misleading information. • File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education if they feel their rights are being violated. Once students are enrolled at Lincoln University, FERPA rights transfer to the student, regardless of the student’s age.

STUDENT RIGHT-TO-KNOW In 1990 the United States Congress enacted a series of laws, which were originally known as the "Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act" and "Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act." The “Student Right-to-Know Act” requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about graduation rates. Graduation rates are available online or from the director of the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment upon request. CAMPUS SECURITY ACT In 1998 the “Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act" was renamed the "The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act" in memory of Jeanne Clery, who was a victim of a violent crime at Lehigh University in 1986. The “Clery Act” requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses.

ONLINE INSTRUCTION
FACULTY REQUIREMENT FOR ONLINE INSTRUCTION Any individual teaching hybrid or fully online courses at Lincoln University is required to complete professional development for teaching asynchronous or synchronous online and/or hybrid courses before their first online teaching experience to ensure implementation of best practices. Effective Fall 2023, individuals teaching online and/or hybrid courses must complete or have previously completed relevant and up-to-date professional development. New teaching hires will be given a one-semester grace period to complete professional development if they are assigned to teach an online and/or hybrid course during their first semester, and if they do not meet the certification requirements listed above. Approved professional development is required and must be completed every 7 years from the date of the last completion. Individuals teaching online and/or hybrid courses may complete relevant and up-to-date professional development sooner than every seven years, and the clock will start over at that point. The office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs will be responsible for establishing and maintaining a comprehensive and continually updated list of approved professional U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 73
development for online instruction. The office of the Vice President of Academic Affairs will collaborate with the Coordinator of Online Learning in the interest of facilitating these professional development activities. This collaboration will ensure that resources are provided to support online instructional quality.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS BACHELOR DEGREE PROGRAMS SEMESTER HOURS A minimum of 120 hours of academic credit (excluding credit earned for pre- college- level courses) is required for graduation. Individual courses of study may require additional hours. There are no exceptions to the 120-hour requirement. Any course that is repeated for a higher grade will not be counted more than once. A minimum of 40 hours of upper division courses (those numbered 300-499) is required for graduation. There are no exceptions to the 40-hour requirement. A maximum of 30 hours of extension and/or correspondence coursework may be counted toward a degree. A maximum of 10 semester hours in religion may be taken for elective credit. GRADE POINT AVERAGE REQUIREMENT FOR GRADUATION A 2.00 cumulative grade point average is required for graduation. MAJOR AND MINOR Every student working toward a degree must select a major. The major department approves courses taken for the major. A major requires a minimum of 30 hours, including at least 18 upper division hours. A student wishing to declare a double major must complete all departmental requirements for each major. Only those courses required in both majors will be permitted to count toward both majors. With the exception of some majors in the B.S. in Education degree program, a minor is not required, but may be elected, for any degree. If a minor is declared, a minimum of 18 hours (21 for the B.S. in Education degree) including at least 6 upper division hours is required. Individual departments should be consulted for specific major and minor requirements. If a student receives a grade lower that a “C,” that grade is not allowed to count toward the major or minor. A student earning less than a grade of "C" in a total of 9 hours of required major courses or less than a grade of "C" in 15 hours of all major courses (required and elective) may be denied further enrollment as a major in the department. A student who fails a course more than once is credited with failure only for the number of hours that the course carries. However, if a student fails a required major course three times, the student may be denied further enrollment in that course. SECOND BACHELOR’S DEGREE A student who has earned a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university may earn a second bachelor's degree if he or she 1) satisfies the curriculum requirements of the new major; 2) declares the new major in a field other than that of the first degree; and 3) completes a minimum total of 141-degree credit hours. ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAMS The University offers several associate degree programs. The minimum number of credit hours required ranges from 61-71, depending on the major field of study. See University Academic Structure for a complete listing of degree programs. See specific department U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 75
sections for requirements. RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS Credit hours completed in regular classes, including conference courses, offered by Lincoln University on the main campus or any other location are said to be completed in residence. All students, including students who transfer to Lincoln University from another institution, must satisfy the following minimum residence credit requirements: A minimum of 30 credit hours of 300- and/or 400-level course work must be successfully completed in residence to obtain a baccalaureate degree; a minimum of 12 of these 30 semester hours must be in the major and, if a minor is declared, at least 6 of these 30 hours must be in the minor. MISSOURI LAW REQUIREMENTS Missouri state law prescribes that all candidates for a degree issued by the colleges and universities of Missouri must have "completed a course of instruction in" and "satisfactorily passed an examination on the provisions and principles of the Constitution of the United States and of the State of Missouri, and in American History and American Institutions." This provision may be satisfied by completing Area 5 of the General Education Requirements. A transfer student who has taken courses in American Government, American History, or American Political Institutions that did not include a study of the Missouri Constitution may meet this requirement by satisfactorily passing a departmental Missouri Constitution examination at least 30 days prior to graduation. COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIREMENT Lincoln University believes that computer skills are a vital component of a complete education program. Because essential knowledge related to computers and software programs varies according to area, departments have determined computer literacy requirements for their majors. Requirements specific to each major are found in the Academic Programs section of this Bulletin. WRITING ACROSS THE CIRRICULUM Recognizing that effective writing contributes to a person’s ability to learn and to communicate, Lincoln University’s academic departments expect students to develop and demonstrate competence in using written language effectively. Each student in a baccalaureate degree program will be required to satisfactorily complete at least one writing intensive course in the major. Writing for the course will be distributed throughout the semester and will include formal writing assignments or a combination of formal and informal elements as deemed pedagogically appropriate by the academic unit offering the course. Writing will be a substantial and integral part of any course designated as writing intensive and will be a major component in determining the course grade. STUDENT OUTCOMES ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (SOAP) Assessment of programs and students is an integral part of the academic and administrative process. Assessment at Lincoln University serves three major purposes: (a) improvement of student learning and instruction, (b) accomplishment of institutional mission, and (c) as documentation of the student’s achievement of educational goals. Lincoln University students are required to participate in the institution’s Student Outcomes Assessment Program. Because the University must be able to evaluate its
76 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
programs and services, it is mandatory that all enrolled persons participate in the Student Outcomes Assessment Program. Each student pursuing a first bachelor’s degree is required to take the General Education Test, an assessment of general education skills, after the completion of 75 or more credit hours (including transfer credits). In addition, each graduating senior is required to take the Major Field Exit Examination in the major area. A student who fails to take the General Education Test or the Major Field Exit Examination will be: • On 1st Offense, o Denied permission to register for the succeeding semester, or if in the final semester, will be restricted from graduating until: A contract is signed with the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment; AND An administrative late fee of $15.00 is paid. • On 2nd Offense, o Denied permission to register for the succeeding semester, or if in the final semester, will be restricted from graduating until: The exam is completed with the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment; AND An administrative late fee of $30.00 is paid. The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment will maintain responsibility for monitoring student participation in assessment activities. Students must participate in the Student Outcomes Assessment Program in order to satisfy departmental and University requirements for graduation. More detailed assessment information is included in each program area.

GENERAL EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS OF GENERAL EDUCATION
General education encompasses the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that should be the common experiences of all educated individuals so that they can engage effectively in a life-long process of inquiry and decision-making and an appreciation of the fine arts. General education is complementary to but different in emphasis and approach from special training for a job or a profession, or scholarship in a particular field of knowledge. A major aim of the University is to graduate students who can function as educated individuals in their families, in their work places, and as members of society at large. The nine goals of the general education program at Lincoln University include eight statewide goals established by the Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education and one institutional goal unique to the University. Lincoln University’s general education program therefore strives to achieve the following nine goals: • To develop students’ effective use of the English language and quantitative and other symbolic systems essential to their success in school and in the world. Students should be able to read and listen critically and to write and speak with thoughtfulness, clarity, coherence, and persuasiveness. • To develop students’ ability to distinguish among opinions, facts, and inferences; to identify underlying or implicit assumptions; to make informed judgments; and to solve problems by applying evaluative standards. • To develop students’ ability to locate, organize, store, retrieve, evaluate, synthesize, and annotate information from print, electronic, and other sources in preparation for solving problems and making informed decisions. • To develop students’ abilities to understand the moral and ethical values of a diverse society and to understand that many courses of action are guided by value judgments about the way things ought to be. Students should be able to make informed decisions through identifying personal values and the values of others and through understanding how such values develop. They should be able to synthesize the ethical implications of choices made on the basis of these values. • To develop students’ understanding of themselves and the world around them through study of content and the processes used by historians and the social and behavioral scientists to discover, describe, explain, and predict human behavior and social systems. Students must understand the diversities and complexities of the cultural and social world, past and present, and come to an informed sense of self and others. • To develop students’ understanding of the ways in which humans have addressed their condition through imaginative work in the humanities and fine arts; to deepen their understanding of how that imaginative process is informed and limited by social, cultural, linguistic, and historical circumstances; and to appreciate the world of the creative imagination as a form of knowledge. • To develop students’ understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts and their applications. Students should develop a level of quantitative literacy that would enable them to make decisions and solve problems and which could serve as a basis for continued learning. • To develop students’ understanding of the principles and laboratory procedures of life and physical sciences and to cultivate their abilities to apply the empirical
78 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
•
methods of scientific inquiry. Students should understand how scientific discovery changes theoretical views of the world, informs our imaginations, and shapes human history. Students would also understand that science is shaped by historical and social contexts. To develop students’ international perspective through an understanding of diverse cultures and beliefs. Students should develop an awareness of the history and values of another culture and a deeper sense of both the similarities and the differences among cultures.
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
All state institutions in Missouri have been asked to design a 42-hour minimum block of general education courses that meets the goals of general education as described previously. There is a minimum of 37 hours that are required from the categories described. The remaining five credit hours are flexible and can be from one or more areas. Because each institution is designing courses to meet identical goals, the general education block transfers from one school to another and satisfies the requirements of each institution following the state guidelines. The following courses represent the General Education requirements at Lincoln University that will satisfy the requirements of other institutions as well. They are applicable to all four-year bachelor’s degrees with the exception of the Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree at Lincoln University.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS All programs offered by Lincoln University are listed in alphabetical order by fields of learning under the college or area through which they are offered. Prior to the opening of each semester, a Schedule of Courses is published by the Office of the Registrar which lists the specific courses to be offered for that semester with the time of meeting, the building and the room number for each course. In the course descriptions, the following information appears sequentially: • The academic program abbreviation and course number. • The title of the course. • The number of hours of credit. If the credit is variable or to be fixed in consultation with the major advisor, this is shown by the maximum and minimum credit. • The semester or session (fall-fa, spring-sp, summer-su) in which the course is generally offered and the calendar year (odd, even) in which the course is generally taught (may not be listed for each course). • "LF" if a lab fee is charged for the course. • "MF" if a music fee is charged for the course. • "EP" if eye protection is required in the course. • “AF” if an assessment fee is required in the course. The eye protection requirement is stipulated by Missouri state law (1976) which requires all students, instructors, and visitors to wear an industrial-quality eye protective device when participating in or observing any courses of instruction which involve a potential eye hazard. All eye protection equipment must meet standards of the American National Standard Institute (A.N.S.I.), Standard A87.1968, and subsequent revisions thereof. Sample programs of study or lists of program requirements are available in the Bulletin and in the academic departments for each degree area. Students are advised to work with a departmental advisor to monitor their progress through general education and major requirements. The sample outlines generally do not include the scheduling of pre-college-level courses that might be required as a result of ACT scores and/or placement tests. Pre- college- level courses do not count toward the minimum 120 semester hours required for graduation.

OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the programs offered in Computer Science and Computer Information Systems, students will be able to: • Demonstrate skills, competencies, and knowledge to develop and use computer information systems in the workplace • Pursue professional careers and/or acquire the additional skills for attaining upward mobility in their current employment positions • Seek careers in computer-based information systems and systems analysis • Become business as well as scientific programmers • Demonstrate an understanding of the latest techniques, systems, and operations currently in use in the workplace • Compare favorably with other students completing similar programs in the nation
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
The Student Outcomes Assessment Program is geared towards achieving methods in which students are assessed quantitatively. To that end, student outcomes will be assessed based on measurable and quantifiable parameters. The graduates with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems (BSCIS) and an Associate of Applied Science degree in Computer Science (AAS-CS) will have the training, the knowledge, and the expertise in their respective fields of training. Graduates of these programs will acquire comparable skills and training and will compare favorably with other students completing similar programs. Computer Information Systems and Computer Science professions are among the fastest changing and growing professions. Because of that, any student outcomes assessment method should be directed towards: • Assessing skills training and preparation of students, and
154 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
•
Developing and/or reviewing the curriculum to meet the changes in the profession.
Two methods of assessment will be employed. These are the Exit Examination and the Internship Survey. Exit examinations will be given to all graduating students. The Exit Examinations will be prepared to reflect the major courses of the programs. Exit examinations of these programs will be reviewed every two years to reflect new courses developed and offered. Reports and surveys from employers for student interns will be collected and analyzed in fall and spring semesters. The survey will be prepared to • Quantitatively assess a student’s knowledge and training, reflected by the grade given in CS 497/498, and • Assess the student’s skills and depth of training relative to other students (employees) from similar institutions. Faculty will analyze data collected from the exit examinations and the internship survey to identify areas of strength and weakness, to plan changes and modifications to curricula, and to assess the trends of the profession. Every two years, the computer science area may initiate new courses and/or drop courses reflecting changes in the profession.

PRE-PROFESSIONAL TRAINING
Many educators believe that the best preparation for post-undergraduate professional training is completion of four years of college work. Accordingly, students who desire to pursue the study of medicine, osteopathic medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, podiatry, optometry or law are, in general, strongly urged to complete a four-year program leading to a bachelor’s degree before entering these professional schools. Through careful planning and consultation with the pre-professional advisor, a student can complete all pre-professional requirements while simultaneously satisfying requirements for a bachelor’s degree.
PRE-MEDICAL
Lincoln University is prepared to provide adequate training for professional schools; however, there are no majors in pre-professional training for medical fields. While a heavy concentration of chemistry, biology and physics courses is recommended for the prospective medical student, completion of coursework is not a guarantee of admission to a professional school. In fact, very few students are accepted for admission without having completed a four-year degree program. The admissions offices of medical schools evaluate grade point averages and course content but also consider scores on the standardized preprofessional tests (MCAT, DAT). Students should pursue a course of study which will give them a broad scientific background. Pre-medical advisement is conducted by the pre-professional advisors in the Department of Science Technology and Mathematics. Undergraduate work for students planning health-professional careers as medical physicians, dental physicians and osteopathic physicians should include the following: REQUIRED COURSES SEMESTERS Biology (with lab) ............................................................................................................... 1 Other biology (with lab)-may include: Anatomy, embryology, genetics, or others ......................................................................... 2 Inorganic chemistry (with lab) ............................................................................................ 2 Organic chemistry (with lab) .............................................................................................. 2 General physics (with lab) .................................................................................................. 2 Mathematics-algebra, calculus, statistics, or trigonometry ................................................. 2 English composition and literature ..................................................................................... 2
PRE-DENTAL, PRE-PODIATRY, PRE-OPTOMETRY
Students preparing for dentistry, podiatry, and optometry are advised to follow the courses suggested for pre-medical students.
PRE-PHARMACY
The first professional degree program in pharmacy, which qualifies the graduate for licensure examination, may be that leading to the baccalaureate degree in pharmacy or the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. The baccalaureate curriculum customarily requires a five-year program of study. A Doctor of Pharmacy program may also be designed as a postbaccalaureate in pharmacy curriculum with a combined period of study usually exceeding six years. Students at Lincoln University may complete up to two years of pre-professional study in any of the above degree programs. Courses recommended are similar to those in U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 179
the freshman and sophomore curriculum for the B.S. in chemistry plus coursework in the biological sciences and social/behavioral sciences. However, since requirements vary from school to school, including the requirements for taking the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT), students are encouraged to seek academic advising and to contact specific colleges of interest or the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, 1400 Crystal Drive, Suite 300, Arlington, VA 22202/ (703) 739-2330.
PRE-VETERINARY MEDICINE
A strong high school background in biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics is highly beneficial for those interested in pursuing veterinary medicine as a career. The rigorous university curriculum is designed to allow students to meet the 60 hour minimum requirement for application to the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Missouri-Columbia (See Animal Science Curriculum for an example of the specific courses at Lincoln University that meet the requirements). Students completing 1) the courses outlined below, and 2) the Veterinary College Admission Test (VCAT) within three years of application and receiving a minimum score of 20 are eligible to apply. However, most students admitted to each freshman class in veterinary school have completed their Bachelor of Science degrees. Many of these students have majored in Animal Science or Biology. Non-academic activities are also important criteria for acceptance with a minimum of 40 hours required observance of veterinarian(s) actively engaged in clinical work. Additional public activities are highly recommended. For additional information, contact either the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences or the Department of Science, Technology, and Mathematics.

TECHNOLOGY Assistant Professor Meysami, Ahmad
MISSION
The Technology curriculum is geared towards preparing students in Civil Engineering Technology, Drafting Technology and Pre-Engineering. Incorporating the developments and use of computers in the engineering field, students are prepared for a profession in civil engineering and architectural consulting, design, and construction industries. • • •
DEGREES OFFERED
Bachelor of Science with a major in Civil Engineering Technology Associate of Applied Science with a major in Drafting Technology Associate of Science with a major in Pre-Engineering
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the programs offered in Technology, students will: • Comprehend and apply the concepts of technology – its tools, materials, and processes • Have problem-solving and decision-making abilities involving human and material resources, processes, and technological systems • Have the skills necessary for life-long learning in vocational, technical, and industrial education • Have the knowledge, expertise, and up-to-date training in technology, and • Acquire comparable skills and will compare favorably with other students completing similar programs in the nation.
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
Two methods of assessment shall be employed. These are the Exit Examination and the Graduate Employees Survey. With the exception of the Pre-Engineering program, exit examinations shall be given to all graduating students. The exit examinations shall be prepared to reflect the major courses of the programs. Exit examinations of these programs shall be reviewed every two years to reflect new courses developed and offered. Reports and surveys from employers of graduates will be collected and analyzed at the end of each academic year. The survey shall be prepared to quantitatively assess student’s knowledge and training. Data collected from the exit exam and internship survey will be analyzed by faculty to identify areas of strength and weakness, to plan changes and modifications as to training needs and to assess the trend of the profession as a whole. As per the two + two articulation agreement between Lincoln University and Missouri University of Science & Technology (Missouri S&T-former UMR) and University of Missouri-Columbia (UMC), graduates of the Pre-Engineering program transfer to these schools to complete their B.S. degree in their respective engineering fields. Therefore, the success of Lincoln University students who transfer to complete their degrees (Engineering Design Phase) to other engineering schools is a quantitative measure of the students’ U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 181
outcome as well as the qualitative measure of the pre-engineering program. To that end, Lincoln has been requesting yearly reports from these schools as to the status of the transfer students. Yearly reports of each student’s GPA, as well as success rates and duration each of student’s stay at these schools are received yearly. This will be continued, and data collected shall be used as an assessment tool. COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIREMENT CS 103 or CS 105, or CS 237 is required for all majors.

POLITICAL SCIENCE Associate Professor: Norris, Brian Assistant Professors: Dorssom, Elizabeth
MISSION
Political science is a 2,400-year-old intellectual tradition founded by the works of Plato and Aristotle. Political science attempts to understand how public institutions increase human well-being. To understand how public institutions increase human well-being, political science must first determine what is good and what is bad. Determining what is good and what is bad requires debate because not everyone agrees on what is good and what is bad. Thus, in one sense, political science is debate about the good society. Political science students at Lincoln University of Missouri (LU) read some of the best debates, both old and new, about important public issues. Students will learn about the intellectual foundations of political science and about the most compelling current political debates. Politics in a democracy is by definition popular, and therefore technical training is not necessary to take a political science course, however political science majors and minors will develop technical skills in the discipline. These technical skills include qualitative analysis or quantitative analysis, as appropriate to the question asked. LU political science students learn how to write well and how to debate. They learn critical thinking skills that will serve them in the classroom and outside it. LU political science has the advantage of being in the Missouri state capital of Jefferson City, and its students gain experience through internships. Political science students also present at academic conferences and receive presentations from interesting guest speakers. LU political science professors and their students have fun while learning about some of the most relevant public issues facing society. Because politics touches on all branches of human knowledge, political science is philosophical. • •

NURSING EDUCATION
Nursing education is a dynamic teaching-learning process involving active participation by both faculty and student. The faculty presents opportunities for students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential to provide holistic nursing care. Nursing education integrates knowledge from the liberal arts and sciences, enhancing critical thinking through utilization of a broad knowledge base. The American Nurses Association (ANA, 2015) publication, Scope and Standards of Practice provides guidelines for associate degree nursing education and practice; whereas, the baccalaureate program utilizes, The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice and The Essentials: Core Compliances for Professional Education (AACN, 2008; 2021) to prepare baccalaureate nurses for professional role sets. The AAS and BSN programs establish the foundation required for continued education within the discipline of nursing.

ASSESSMENT PROGRAM Assessment measures allow students and faculty to determine the degree of success that students have in meeting program and student learning outcomes. Formative and summative assessment measures such as student performance rubrics, surveys and standardized nursing exams are used during the nursing program. Student results are analyzed to determine program strengths and weaknesses. Based on this analysis, curriculum or program revisions are made to enhance student learning. Additionally, based on individual student performance on standardized nursing exams, supplemental instruction will be required in preparation for the national licensure exam. ADMISSION CRITERIA The Lincoln University School of Nursing has a selective admission procedure. Enrollment is limited to 40 students each year during the fall semester.

The student is responsible for contacting the Fort Leonard Wood Campus office at (573) 329-5160 to make sure their application and references have been received and their admission packet is completed by the deadline. The student is responsible for providing and maintaining a current address and contact numbers to the School of Nursing - Fort Leonard Wood Campus. After the above criteria are met, the admissions committee will review the applicant’s admission criteria and file for acceptability. All applicants are notified in writing by the admission committee of their acceptance, rejection, or placement on a waiting list. If the application process is not completed, a new application packet must be submitted for consideration the next year. Student transcripts must reflect completion of pre-requisite and/or required courses with a “C” or above on the first or second attempt to be admitted. Registration in a course and then subsequently withdrawing (W) is considered one attempt. If the student has received a “D”, “F”, or “W” in pre-requisite and/or required courses on the second attempt the student must wait five years to apply to the nursing program. If extenuating circumstances have occurred, the student may petition the faculty in writing for an exception. Applicants who are accepted into the AAS in Nursing are requested to confirm, in writing, their enrollment plans. Applicants accepted to begin the AAS in Nursing will receive orientation information from the School of Nursing - Fort Leonard Wood Campus office. Applicants accepted into the program must attend a mandatory new nursing student orientation held during the summer. Prospective nursing students are advised to familiarize themselves with the Missouri Statutes, 335.066 as excerpted from the Missouri Nurse Practice Act. This section identifies criteria the Missouri State Board of Nursing may use to deny licensure. According to Missouri Statute 335.046 (1999), "the applicant shall be of good moral U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 375
character and have completed at least the high school course of study or the equivalent thereof as determined by the state board of education and have successfully completed the basic professional curriculum in an accredited or approved school of nursing and earned a professional nursing degree or diploma." In addition, information regarding the policies and procedures of the nursing program, including the Safe Nursing Practice Policy, is made available to the student at the AAS Informational Session in person and online. The AAS Student Handbook is available online to nursing students beginning the nursing program. ADMISSION AS A TRANSFER STUDENT Transfer credits from other colleges and universities will be evaluated on an individual basis for equivalency to current program requirements. Only courses completed with a grade of "C" or better will be considered for transfer. Students requesting transfer into the program must complete the nursing “Admission Criteria” as outlined above. Required courses in the social and biological sciences form the basis for making nursing judgments. The nursing faculty, therefore, reserves the right to require students to re-take any course when credit was earned several years prior to enrollment in the AAS in Nursing. ADMISSION AS A LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE (LPN) LPN’s must complete the nursing “Admission Criteria” as outlined above and maintain a current Missouri license in good standing throughout the AAS nursing program. LPN’s may choose to attempt advanced placement into the program (See below) or may choose to apply to the program starting in the fundamentals course, NUR 101. ADVANCED PLACEMENT AS A LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE (LPN) Admitted LPNs with an undisciplined Missouri license may choose to enroll in NUR 106 Transitions to Professional Nursing to attempt to gain advanced standing in the program. NUR 106 is a hybrid bridge course, which is offered during the summer semester only. Based on individual student achievement on the departmental nursing tests in NUR 106, students may be able to earn credit for the first year of nursing courses (maximum of 18 credit hours). Students achieving credit by exam may enroll in nursing courses based on space available and by satisfactory completion of pre-requisite courses. CLINICAL REQUIREMENTS Nursing students are required to meet health requirements established by the University. All applicants accepted for admission to the AAS in Nursing must be physically and mentally healthy. All nursing students must have a current physical exam within the calendar year prior to starting the first nursing course. Because students obtain clinical laboratory experiences in a variety of area health care agencies, they must assure that they are in good health throughout their enrollment in the AAS in Nursing. Students must maintain documentation of immunizations/titers (COVID-19, Hepatitis B, Tdap, MMR, and chickenpox and Mantoux (TB) testing). Students are required to complete
376 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
any laboratory test(s), including drug screens, as requested by clinical agencies. Due to the nature of clinical experiences and the risk of exposure to illness and injury, all nursing students are encouraged to have health insurance. The cost of treatment for any injury or illness during the program is the responsibility of each student. Nursing students are required to provide documentation of the American Heart Association Health Care Provider CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) certification prior to beginning clinical nursing courses in the AAS nursing program. Students must maintain current CPR certification throughout their enrollment in the AAS nursing program. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS All students entering the clinical nursing major will complete the required University’s criminal record check at the students’ expense. This investigation meets statutory requirements and is to ensure students have not previously committed violent crimes against persons. If clinical agencies require reverification, students must complete additional criminal background checks as required by the agencies. Students must meet the requirements of clinical agencies where Lincoln University participates in clinical experiences. If the results of the criminal records background check reveal a record or conviction, guilty plea or nolo contendere plea involving Class A or Class B felonies as listed under Missouri law, the student will not be able to participate in clinical and therefore will not be eligible to be in or to continue in the nursing program. It is illegal for licensed hospitals, nursing homes and in-home care agencies under contract with the Department of Health and Senior Services to knowingly hire a person for a position for the purpose of having contact with patients or residents if that person is currently on the Employee Disqualification List of the Department of Social Services. If a student is listed on the Employee Disqualification List maintained by the State of Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the student will not be able to attend clinical. If the applicant is on the Employee Disqualification List, the applicant may be able to ask for and obtain a waiver from the Department of Health and Senior Services if they feel they are now eligible to be in the nursing program.
COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIREMENT
Nursing students must be able to utilize university email, on-line course management systems, Internet, and word-processing throughout the nursing program.

PROGRESSION Each student must satisfy both theory and clinical requirements of each course before progressing to the next course in the nursing sequence. Comprehensive examinations are administered at the end of each nursing course in the AAS program. Clinical courses include a practicum that must be successfully completed in order to pass the course. Unsatisfactory performance in theory, practicum or clinical will result in failure of the
378 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
course. The following scale is used to designate the level of performance in required nursing courses: A = 90-100%; B = 80-89%; C = 75-79%; D = 60-74%; F = below 60%. Any student who earns a failing grade in clinical but who has an average of 75% or more in theory will be awarded a grade of “D” for the course. A grade of “C” or above in a nursing course and the prerequisite non-nursing courses is necessary for progression to the next course in the nursing sequence. Students who receive a grade below “C” (75%) must apply for readmission to the program. Students who twice enroll, within the past five years, in any course required for the nursing degree and do not receive a grade of “C” or above will be denied progression in the program. A student may repeat two nursing courses within a five-year period. A repeated nursing course must be passed on the second attempt. If extenuating circumstances have occurred, the student may petition the faculty in writing for an exception. A student withdrawing from a nursing course is required to contact the course faculty. If the grade earned at the time of withdrawal is “D” or “F”, this will be considered a course failure for purposes of curriculum progression. If the grade earned at the time of withdrawal, is a “C” or above there may be no effect in regard to curriculum progression. READMISSION A student eligible for readmission to the AAS in Nursing program must complete the requirements of the current Lincoln University Undergraduate Bulletin at the time of readmission. A student who exits the program for any reason or fails to progress with his or her class is not guaranteed readmission. The nursing faculty reserves the right to require a readmitted student to audit or re-take a nursing course when the current course varies significantly from content during prior enrollment or when faculty believe that the amount of time (See Progression as outlined above) since the student was enrolled in the course has been sufficient enough to jeopardize the student's success in the AAS in Nursing program. These students may be allowed to document course competency by successfully passing the final examination(s) and successfully completing the practicum for the course(s) involved. Readmission is contingent upon space available in the course. The student may also be required to meet individualized study objectives as requested by faculty to demonstrate previously learned continued competences in skills or theory content. If a student is unable to re-enroll and return to the course the next time the course is offered, the student may be required to repeat all or part of previously completed courses within the curriculum. If extenuating circumstances have occurred, the student may petition the faculty in writing for an exception. When a student desires readmission to the program, a written request describing 1) the reasons for withdrawal or lack of successful progression, 2) the desired readmission course and date, and 3) the changes that have occurred to facilitate program completion must be submitted to the department. This letter should be received in the department office no later than eight weeks before the course they are requesting readmission to in order for the request to be reviewed by the nursing faculty. The student will be notified in writing of the faculty’s decision. Eligible candidates can only be readmitted if space is available.

Formative and summative assessment measures such as student performance rubrics, surveys and standardized nursing exams are used during the nursing program. Student results are analyzed to determine program strengths and deficits. Based on this analysis, curriculum
382 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
or program revisions are made to enhance student learning. Additionally, based on individual student performance on standardized nursing exams, supplemental instruction will be required in preparation for the national licensure exam. ADMISSION CRITERIA The Lincoln University School of Nursing has a selected admission procedure. Enrollment is based on 30 students each semester (Fall/Spring).

U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N | 383
Applications and reference letters are due the last Tuesday in September for Spring admission and the first Tuesday in March for Fall admission. The student is responsible for contacting the School of Nursing office at (573) 681-5421 to make sure application and references have been received and are complete by the deadline. The student is responsible for providing and maintaining a current address and contact number to the School of Nursing. Lincoln University email will be the only email address that will be utilized. After the above criteria are met, the admissions committee will review the applicant’s admission packet and file for acceptability for interview. After the interview, all applicants will be notified in writing of their acceptance or rejection. If the applicant is denied and chooses to reapply the next semester, the application process will need to be repeated. Applicants who are accepted into the BSN program option are requested to confirm in writing their acceptance. Applicants accepted to begin the BSN program may obtain orientation information in the nursing office or online. Student transcripts must reflect completion of pre-requisite and/or required courses with a “C” or above on the first or second attempt; Anatomy & Physiology must be completed within the last 5 years to be admitted. Registration in a course and then subsequently withdrawing (W) is considered an attempt. If the student has received a “D”, “F”, or “W” in pre-requisite and/or required courses on the second attempt the student must wait 5 years to apply to the nursing program. If extenuating circumstances have occurred, the student may petition the faculty in writing for an exception. Applicants who are accepted into the BSN program are requested to confirm, in writing, their enrollment plans. Program progression requires minimum GPA of 2.0. Prospective nursing students are required to attend an informational session and are advised to familiarize themselves with the Missouri Statutes, 335.066 as excerpted from the Missouri Nurse Practice Act, as amended in 1999. This section identifies criteria the Missouri State Board of Nursing may use to deny licensure. According to Missouri Statute 335.046, "an applicant for licensure shall be of good moral character and have completed at least the high school course of study or the equivalent thereof as determined by the State Board of Education and have successfully completed the basic professional curriculum in an accredited or approved school of nursing and earned a professional nursing degree or diploma." The BSN Student Handbook is distributed to nursing students beginning the BSN program. ADMISSION AS A TRANSFER STUDENT Students must complete the nursing “Admission Criteria” as outlined above. Transfer credits from other colleges and universities will be evaluated on an individual basis for equivalency to current program requirements. Only courses completed with a grade of "C" or better will be considered for transfer. Students who wish to enroll in non- nursing classes at other institutions and have those credits count toward their degree at Lincoln University must seek approval prior to enrolling in those classes if they plan to be concurrently enrolled in courses at Lincoln University. Certification of Transfer Credit forms are available in the office of the School of Nursing. Required courses in the social and biological sciences form the basis for making nursing judgments. The nursing faculty, therefore, reserves the right to require students to re-take any course when credit was
384 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
earned several years prior to enrollment in the BSN program. PRACTICUM REQUIREMENTS Nursing students are required to meet health requirements established by the University. All applicants accepted for admission to the BSN program must be physically and mentally healthy. Because students are provided practicum experiences in a variety of health care agencies, students must assure that they are in good health throughout their enrollment in the BSN program. Students must maintain documentation of immunizations/titers, i.e., Hepatitis B, DTaP, MMR, COVID-19, and Varicella and yearly Mantoux (TB) testing and influenza vaccine. Students are required to have a 10-panel drug plus alcohol screen. Due to the nature of practicum experiences and the risk of exposure to illness and injury, all nursing students are encouraged to have health insurance. The cost of treatment for any injury or illness is the responsibility of each student. Nursing students are required to provide documentation of certification to perform adult (one man, two man), child and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) prior to beginning practicum nursing courses in the BSN program. Students must document current CPR certification throughout their enrollment in the BSN program. CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS All students entering the practicum portion of the nursing major will complete the University’s criminal record check at the students’ expense. This investigation meets statutory requirements and is to ensure students have not previously committed violent crimes against persons. If practicum agencies require reverification, students must complete additional criminal background checks as required by the agencies. Students must meet the requirements of practicum agencies where Lincoln University participates in practicum experiences. If the results of the criminal records background check reveal a record or conviction, guilty pleas or nolo contendere pleas involving Class A or Class B felonies as listed under Missouri law, the student will not be able to participate in practicums. It is illegal for licensed hospitals, nursing homes and in-home care agencies under contract with the Department of Health and Senior Services to knowingly hire a person for a position for the purpose of having contact with patients or residents if that person is currently on the Employee Disqualification List of the Department of Social Services. If a student is listed on the Employee Disqualification List maintained by the State of Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the student will not be able to attend practicums. COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIREMENT Nursing students must be able to utilize university email, on-line course management systems, Internet, and word-processing throughout the nursing program.

PROGRESSION Each student must satisfy all course requirements of each course before progressing in the nursing sequence. Comprehensive examinations are administered at the end of each semester of study in the BSN program. Courses may also include a laboratory and math practicum which must be successfully completed in order to pass the course. The practicum portion of the class is pass/fail. Unsatisfactory performance in either theory or practicum will result in failure for the course. The following scale is used to designate the level of performance in required nursing courses: A = 90-100%; B = 80-89%; C = 75-79%; D = 60-74%; F = below 60%. Any student who earns a failing grade in practicum, but who has an average of 75 or more in theory, will be awarded a grade of "D" for the course. Students admitted to the nursing program who twice enroll, within the past five years, in any course required for the nursing degree and do not receive a grade of "C" or above will be denied progression in the program. A student may repeat two nursing courses within a five year period. A repeated nursing course must be passed on the second attempt. If extenuating circumstances have occurred, the student may petition the faculty in writing for an exception. A student withdrawing from a nursing course is required to contact the course faculty. If the grade earned at the time of withdrawal is “D” or “F” this will be considered a course failure for purpose of curriculum progression. If the grade earned at the time of withdrawal
388 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
is a “C” or above there may be no effect in regard to curriculum progression. A student must reapply for re-enrollment within two consecutive semesters. Re-enrollment is contingent upon space available in the course. If a student is unable to re-enroll and return to the course within two consecutive semesters the student may be required to repeat all or part of previously completed courses within the curriculum. If extenuating circumstances have occurred, the student may petition the faculty in writing for an exception. READMISSION A student eligible for readmission to the BSN program must complete the requirements in the current bulletin at the time of readmission. A student, who exits the BSN program for any reason or fails to progress with his or her class, is not guaranteed readmission to the program. The nursing faculty reserves the right to require a readmitted student to audit or re-take a nursing course when the current course varies significantly from content during prior enrollment or when faculty believe that the amount of time since the student was enrolled in the course has been sufficient to jeopardize the student's success in the BSN program. These students may be allowed to document course competence by successfully writing the final examination(s) for the courses involved. When a student desires readmission to the program, the student should write a letter to the department head describing the reasons for withdrawal or exclusion, when readmission is desired, and the changes which have occurred to facilitate program completion. This letter should be received in the department office prior to finals week for the request to be reviewed by the nursing faculty. The student will be notified in writing of the response to the request and whether space is available to accommodate them. Eligible candidates can only be admitted if space is available. DEGREE/LICENSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BSN A minimum of 120 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.00 is required for graduation with a BSN degree. Students must complete all general education and nursing courses with grades of "C" or better. Nursing - A minimum of 57 credit hours in nursing are required for graduation. A minimum of 30 credit hours of 300 and/or 400 level course work must be successfully completed in residence to obtain a baccalaureate degree. Specific major requirements are NUR 200, 225, 300, 305, 322/322L, 340, 360, 365, 400, 420, 435, 460, and 475. Non-nursing – A minimum of 63 credit hours of general education are required for graduation. Precollege level courses do not count toward graduation requirements. For general education requirements, refer to the academic map. Successful completion of the BSN requirements qualifies the student for consideration by the faculty for recommendation to receive the Bachelor in Science Degree with a major in Nursing. Completion of these requirements also qualifies the graduate to apply to the Missouri State Board of Nursing to become a registered nurse by writing the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX R.N.). However, completion of the program does not guarantee eligibility to write the NCLEX-R.N.

392 | U N D E R G R A D U A T E B U L L E T I N
CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS All students entering a practicum experience will need to complete a criminal background check at the student’s expense. This investigation meets statutory requirements and is to ensure students have not previously committed violent crimes against persons. If practicum agencies require reverification, students must complete additional criminal background checks as required by the agencies. Criminal background checks will be valid for a period of two years. Students must meet the requirements of agencies where Lincoln University participates in practicum experiences. If the results of the criminal background check reveal a record or conviction, guilty pleas or nolo contendere pleas involving Class A or Class B felonies as listed under Missouri law, the student will not be able to participate in practicum. It is illegal for licensed hospitals, nursing homes and in-home care agencies under contract with the Department of Health and Senior Services to knowingly hire a person for a position for the purpose to have contact with patients or residents if that person is currently on the Employee Disqualification List of the Department of Social Services. If a student is listed on the Employee Disqualification List maintained by the State of Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the student will not be able to attend practicum. PROGRESSION RNs must have and maintain a current RN license in good standing in the state they are completing their practicum experiences. Each student must satisfy all requirements for all components of each nursing course.

LIBERAL STUDIES MISSION
The Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) degree is administered through Graduate and Extended Studies. This degree is specifically designed for the non-traditional student who is already in the workforce but seeking a baccalaureate degree that will provide the credentials necessary to enhance their career or for the traditional undergraduate who decided not to declare a traditional major but would like a degree program that offers more flexibility. The student can develop their own program around two or more emphasis areas that will help meet their professional goals. This degree does not require or lead to a major in a subject field. However, through a strong academic foundation in general education and specific knowledge in selected disciplines, the BLS graduate will perform more effectively in their profession and become more proficient in specific job-related skills areas if they are a non-traditional student; or are prepared to enter the job market or graduate school with a solid foundation. Bachelor of Liberal Studies • • • •
DEGREE OFFERED OBJECTIVES
Students completing the Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree program will be satisfied with their individualized programs of study.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Liberal Studies degree program will demonstrate proficiency in their chosen emphasis areas.
ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
Unlike other degree programs, the B.L.S. degree does not have a common core curriculum for all students. Each student designs a unique academic experience built upon a general education foundation. Consequently, surveys, in addition to the General Education Test (GET) and capstone experiences required of all students, are utilized to determine if the program objectives have been met. A program satisfaction survey is administered to all prospective graduates of the program. An alumni survey is also sent to all graduates to determine if they have experienced opportunities for career and professional advancement as a result of their degrees. • • •
