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.
Students in need of medical attention can consult with Student Services for referral to an appropriate medical facility. It should be noted that the student health insurance does not cover dental work. Students are advised to have any necessary dental work taken care of by their own dentists. This continued freedom of expression is not only vital to any democratic society, but it also serves as a directive force in many University programs. The Lincoln University Student Association is composed of representatives of the various ethnic organizations on campus, as well as at-large members and officers elected by the student body every Fall Semester.
