On occasion, some students feel the stress of personal problems. Such stress can interfere with academic success. Student Services provides personal counseling and referral assistance for students experiencing emotional difficulties. In cooperation with the Dean and faculty advisors, Student Services provides counseling for students in academic difficulty. Students with excessive absences, low mid-term or end of semester grades, and students indicating an intention to withdraw from the University are strongly advised to seek counseling.
Every effort is made to assist students to identify and resolve areas of difficulty.
Most students live with relatives, family friends, or share an apartment with other students. The Director of Student Services posts notices of current rentals and refers students to various sources of temporary housing until students find suitable accommodations. Students find housing by checking the listings posted at Lincoln University or by utilizing rental agencies. All students who enter the College must carry the student health insurance. Students receive a brochure at registration concerning the extent of the plan's coverage.
