Letter from the President
Welcome to your new school!
On behalf of Lincoln College of New England (LCNE) faculty and staff, allow me to welcome you “home”. For
50 years, we have proudly served students in the local communities. Founded in 1966 as Briarwood College, the
College has expanded in size and scope of program offerings as we continuously assess the needs of the
communities in which we serve. The College offers programs through on-campus, online, and hybrid delivery
options to meet the needs of todays’ students. These flexible delivery methods allow many students to achieve
goals they didn’t even know were possible.
LCNE is a student-centered college focused on preparing students to be career-ready. We take great pride in our
low faculty to student ratio. You will never be a mere number in a crowd or a student amidst a crowd of learners
in a large assembly hall.
We truly believe that serving our students today, creates a better future for tomorrow. Our primary focus is on
our commitment to our students throughout their stay at LCNE and beyond! We invite you to tour our
outstanding campus, where you will find faculty and staff ready and willing to help you. I hope that you will
begin your academic journey at Lincoln College of New England and experience excellence.
Regards,
Denise Lewicki
President

FINANCIAL REPORTING

HISTORY
Lincoln College of New England traces its roots to the founding of the Briarwood Secretarial School which opened an office in Bristol, Connecticut in 1966. In early
1967, the School opened its first classrooms in a building that would later be named Dr. John J. LeConche Hall, constructed on a new 33 acre site at the base of Mount
Southington on Mount Vernon Road.
In 1979, Briarwood College was granted a charter by the Connecticut General Assembly and authorized to confer degrees and diplomas as are customary in higher
education. The College became coeducational and commenced offering associate of applied science degrees and certificates in professionally-oriented programs in
allied health, business and secretarial studies. In the years to follow, the College expanded its degree offerings and made significant improvements to its existing
facilities and grounds including a new residence hall, library addition and classrooms equipped with computers and instructional technology. The first two baccalaureate
degree programs, criminal justice and funeral service management, were approved and accredited by the Connecticut Board of Governors for Higher Education in the
fall of 2005.
In December 2008, the College was acquired by Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (LESC). Shortly afterward, LESC also acquired Clemens College in
Suffield, CT, formerly known as the International College of Hospitality Management. The two institutions merged into Lincoln College of New England at the end of
2009. Consistent with its mission and strategic plan, the College began to offer online degree programs in October 2010. More growth followed in 2014, as the College
began to offer baccalaureate programs in RN to BSN and Business Management. The following year, a baccalaureate program in Dental Hygiene was offered, and in
2016 expansion continued with the offering of a baccalaureate program in Human Services. Lincoln College of New England is now home to a diverse student body
comprised of both full-time and part-time students enrolled in both on-ground and online programs.

FINANCIAL AID
Lincoln College of New England prides itself on a personal approach to assisting students and their families with finding the financial means to pay for a college
education and to minimize the uncertainty that can result from the financial aid process. A variety of financial aid options are available to qualified individuals in the
form of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment. Scholarships and grants do not have to be repaid. Most loans are repaid after the student graduates or
withdraws from the College. Important areas of financial aid are covered below. After reviewing the information, please call to make an appointment with a staff
member of the Financial Aid Office for clarification regarding the various financial options available.
AWARD PACKAGES AND DISBURSEMENTS
Students are advised of grants and institutional scholarship amounts through award letters sent when financial aid processing has been completed. These awards are
based on information from the FAFSA and may be estimates and therefore, subject to change. Federal and state awards are not final until the information on the FAFSA
has been verified as accurate by the Financial Aid Office. Student and parents whose financial circumstances change are expected to notify the Financial Aid Office.
When outside awards are received, the student is required to notify the Financial Aid Office to assure that these awards are credited to the student and to adjust needbased aid when mandated by federal or state law. If changes to financial aid awards are made, the student will be notified through a revised award letter.
ELIGIBILITY
A student must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen who has a high school diploma or equivalent, be enrolled at least half time (carrying 6 or more credits per
term), be matriculated in a diploma or degree program, demonstrate financial need, and make satisfactory academic progress in order to receive Federal or State funded
grants or loans. Please see the section on Satisfactory Academic Progress for further information.
FINANCIAL NEED
A portion of the financial aid awarded is funded through Federal and State agencies on the basis of need. Financial need is determined by a comparison between college
expenses (tuition, fees, books, transportation, living expenses, etc.) and the resources (assets and earnings) of students and their families. Students with the greatest need
are generally given preference for most financial aid programs and thus tend to receive larger aid packages.
FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA)
To evaluate a student’s financial need, the Financial Aid Office uses the federal needs analysis system mandated by the U.S. Department of Education which utilizes the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA collects information about a family’s financial situation which will help the financial aid counselors
determine what each student is qualified to receive. The FAFSA can be completed online by visiting www.fafsa.ed.gov. Please note that FAFSA applications must be
submitted even if the student is applying solely for a Direct Stafford Student Loan or Parent: Plus Loan. All students must reapply annually by completing the
FAFSA for each new award year.
REDUCTION IN COURSE LOAD
Students that reduce their course load during a term may experience a reduction in their financial aid award package. Prior to any course reduction, students should
speak with the Financial Aid Office.
REESTABLISHING FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY
Students on financial aid suspension may only regain eligibility by taking actions that bring them into compliance with appropriate standards. Students that choose to
remain enrolled without receiving Title IV aid may request a review of their academic record after any term in which they were on financial aid suspension to determine
if they are able to attain appropriate measures to receive Title IV aid.
REFUND POLICIES
The student, parent, or legal guardian, in writing, may cancel the application for enrollment at any time within three business days after the day on which the application
for enrollment is received by the Admission Office of Lincoln College of New England. Any payments remitted with the application for enrollment will be refunded,
with the exception of the registration fee and deposit.
The College reserves the right to change courses and programs as deemed necessary. If Lincoln College of New England cancels a program prior to the beginning of
classes and the applicant does not enroll in a different program, all fees and deposits paid, with the exception of the application fee, will be refunded. Overpayments in a
student’s account in relation to the application of Title IV Federal Funds will be refunded within 14 days of disbursement.
Treatment of Title IV Aid When a Student Separates from the College
The law specifies how schools must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that you earn if you separate from school. The Title IV programs that are
covered by this law are: Federal Pell Grants, the Federal Direct Loan program and the Federal Supplemental Educational Grant (FSEOG). When you separate during
your payment period the amount of the Title IV program assistance that you have earned up to that point is determined by a specific formula. If you received more
assistance than you earned, the excess fund must be returned. The amount of assistance that you have earned is determined on a prorated basis. For example, if you
completed 30% of your payment period, you earn 30% of the assistance you were originally scheduled to receive. Once you have completed more than 60% of the
payment period you earn all the assistance that you were scheduled to receive for that period.
There are some Title IV funds that you were scheduled to receive that cannot be disbursed to you once separation from the college occurs because of other eligibility
requirements. For example, if you are a first-time, first-year student and you have not completed the first 30 days of your program before you withdraw you will not
receive any Direct Loan funds that you would have received had you remained enrolled passed the 30 th day.
Requirements for eligibility/return of Title IV funds are separate from the College’s refund policy.
The total number of calendar days in a term excludes any scheduled breaks of 5 days or more.
Please note that students are responsible for any balance owed to Lincoln College of New England as a result of the repayment of Federal aid funds.
If a student is entitled to a post-withdrawal loan disbursement, the borrower must respond to the school’s notice of the intended disbursement within 14 days. Refunds
will be processed and sent to the student no later than 30 days after the school determined withdrawal date.

Federal Pell Grant

and may be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Direct Subsidized Loans
The amount a student may borrow per year is based on level of enrollment, financial need, and cost of attendance. “Subsidized” means the Federal Government pays the

Direct Unsubsidized Loans
Independent students may borrow between $6,000 and $7,000 based on their level of enrollment and cost of attendance. Dependent students may borrow up to $2,000

scores will be used when determining loan eligibility and loan amount. Students and parents must complete the FAFSA to be eligible for a PLUS Loan.
VERIFICATION
On occasion, federal regulations and College policy require verification of information used to determine a student’s eligibility for financial aid. Some students may be
asked to provide documentation verifying income and the status of household members or other information reported on the FAFSA. If any requested information is not
provided, the student will not qualify for financial aid.

pox). In addition, resident students must provide proof of immunization against meningitis within the past five years. Immunization records must be in compliance with
Connecticut law. Guidelines for these requirements are included in the admission packet.
There is an increased risk for the occurrence of occupational blood borne exposure for healthcare professionals who treat patients in hospitals, clinics and private

PLURALISM
Lincoln College of New England is a diversified institution of learning, committed to recognizing diversity and pluralism of values and beliefs on campus. The College
is committed toward ensuring that all students are given equal opportunity to participate in its educational programs, and all qualified employees are appointed and
promoted without regard to their race, national origin, ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age, veteran status, or marital status. The
College is also dedicated toward maintaining an environment where the dignity and character of all members of the institutional community are respected. To that end,
the College considers sexual harassment of students or employees to be unacceptable conduct which will not be tolerated. The College also condemns bias and all other
acts of bigotry, discrimination, harassment, bullying, cyber-bullying and violence.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Lincoln College of New England steadfastly opposes all forms of unlawful discrimination and harassment in the College environment. The Title IX and 504
Coordinator is the Dean of Student Services who can be reached at the address and telephone number located within this Catalog. The Title IX Coordinator is
responsible for overseeing compliance with Title IX, including the prompt and equitable response to complaints.
Lincoln College of New England will not permit any form of sexual harassment in the College environment, or tolerate any such conduct that has the purpose or effect
of interfering with an individual’s school performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive school environment. Lincoln College of New England
recognizes that sexual harassment is a violation of state and federal law and this policy reaffirms our commitment that all students should be able to enjoy a school
environment free from all forms of discrimination, including sexual harassment. Although no guidelines can define sexual harassment with complete clarity, the
following definition is provided as a guideline of what is and is not prohibited conduct:
Sexual harassment is defined as offensive, unwelcome or unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other conduct of a sexual nature (whether verbal,
written, physical, visual, or implied) when:
1. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s education.
2. Submission to or rejection to such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for educational decisions affecting the individual.
3. Such conduct has the purpose of effect or interfering with an individual’s educational performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive college
environment.
In certain circumstances, unlawful sexual harassment may also include conduct of a non-sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive college
environment, to the extent that conduct is directed towards an individual merely because of that person’s sex. This policy covers all students and employees of Lincoln
College of New England, as well as any third parties conducting business on our premises. Thus, the College will not tolerate, condone, or allow sexual harassment,
whether engaged in by fellow students, employees, or non-employees (including vendors or visitors) who conduct business with the company.
19
The College requires reporting of all complaints of discrimination on the basis of sex, including complaints of sexual harassment, to the Title IX Coordinator even if the
allegations may also raise criminal or other disciplinary concerns. If you believe you are the victim of such harassment, you should report the incident immediately to
Title IX coordinator in Student Services. The Title IX Coordinator for the school can be reached at the address and phone number in this Catalog. All complaints will be
impartially investigated and kept confidential to the maximum extent possible. An impartial investigation may include interviews with all witnesses reasonably likely to
have relevant information and provides the parties with the opportunity to present witnesses and other evidence and to review records. Criminal investigations related to
the same or similar grievances do not necessarily obviate the need for an investigation by Lincoln College of New England regarding alleged Title IX violations. Any
employee or student confirmed to have harassed another student will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination/expulsion.
LCNE policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, ancestry, race, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, pregnancy, religion,
transgender status, protected veteran’s status or any other status protected by federal or state laws. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law
intended to end sex discrimination in all areas of education. It applies to non-discrimination based on sex/gender and to issues of program equity, such as in athletics,
and also to sexual harassment and sexual assault. If you feel you have been discriminated against because of sex/gender or need more information regarding Title IX,
please contact the College’s Title IX Coordinator Cynthia Clark, LeConche Hall L-5, (860)628-4751 Ext 40979, [email protected].

DISABILITY SERVICES
Lincoln College of New England is dedicated to providing opportunities for all qualified students to participate fully in all of its programs and activities. Lincoln
College of New England does not discriminate or deny access to an “otherwise qualified” student with a disability. An “otherwise qualified” student with a disability is
one who meets the essential institutional, academic and technical standards requisite to admission, participation, and completion of our programs, with or without
reasonable accommodation.
It is the responsibility of the student with a disability who needs an accommodation to speak with the Dean of Student Services in order to request the accommodation
and to follow the processes set forth in this policy. It is not the responsibility of the College to propose accommodations to a student who has not requested any. A
student with a disability who chooses not to have any accommodations is under no obligation to disclose the disability to the College. Students who are seeking
22
disability support services are required to submit documentation to verify the need for the accommodation requested. The Dean of Student Services offers assistance
through case-by-case assessment of the particular student’s needs under the circumstances, for both classroom and other College-wide access and participation.
The process for obtaining reasonable accommodations is interactive, beginning with the disclosure of the disability and the request for the accommodations by the
student to the Dean of Student Services, ordinarily during the enrollment process. The student is responsible for providing appropriate documentation from a qualified
physician or clinician who has diagnosed the disability. All documentation becomes part of a confidential file that is used in assessing the appropriateness of the
requested accommodations. The nature and extent of accommodations are determined cooperatively by the student and the Dean of Student Services based on the
documentation provided by the student. To facilitate timely accommodations, students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the Dean of Student Services
immediately following acceptance to the College or, if later, as soon as the student is diagnosed with a disability requiring accommodation. The Dean of Student
Services works in partnership with the faculty to ensure that students’ needs for accommodations are met. Some accommodations such as interpreting services will
require additional time to organize. The request must be received in writing six weeks before class as per the policy found in the office of Student Services. The college
advises all students that may have the need of any accommodations to discuss them early with the Dean of Student Services. Accommodations may not be retroactive
and the failure to report disabilities early in a term may limit the effectiveness of the accommodation for that term.
Title IX Coordinator
The LCNE Title IX Coordinator oversees compliance with all aspects of the sex/gender harassment, discrimination, bullying, cyber-bullying and misconduct policy.
Questions about this policy should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator. Anyone wishing to make a report relating to discrimination or harassment may do so by

ACADEMIC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
The purpose of the grievance procedure is conflict resolution. The procedure should not inhibit discussions between a student and a member of the faculty. If a student
believes that a personal conflict with a faculty member exists, the student should approach the faculty member to discuss the situation as soon as the concern is realized.
Students may contact the Office of Academic Affairs for assistance. Every effort will be made to explore the problem and to develop options for successful resolution.
If a student desires to pursue a grade appeal for an individual grade, the request needs to be submitted to the Office of Academic Affairs no later than fourteen calendar
days from the receipt of the final grade. Students should contact the Office of Academic Affairs for the official policy and procedures for academic grievances.
Non-academic grievances should follow the College’s Student Complaint/Grievance Policy. Student-initiated complaints are to be received by the Office of the
President, and reviewed by a Designated School Official (DSO). The policy and submission forms are located in the central administrative office located in LeConche
Hall.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Lincoln College of New England expects honesty from students in presenting all of their academic work. Students are responsible for knowing and observing accepted
principles and procedures of research and writing in all academic work, including paper writing, lab manual and/or workbook completing and test-taking. Academic
dishonesty not only contradicts the expectations of the faculty and student body, but also undermines the students’ pursuit of knowledge and violates the College’s rules
and regulations. Several forms of academic dishonesty carry penalties:

Plagiarism: The copying of the language, structure, ideas and/or thoughts of another and presenting it as one’s own original work, or any attempts thereof.
This includes the cutting and pasting of internet resources. The College reserves the right to use plagiarism-detection software on any paper turned in for
credit.

Cheating: Including the actual giving or receiving of any unauthorized aid or assistance, or the actual giving or receiving of any unfair advantage on any
form of academic work or examination, or any attempt thereof.

Falsification: Any untrue statement, verbal or written, relating to one’s academic or professional work. Such acts include, but are not limited to, the forgery
of official signatures, tampering with official documents, and/or fraudulently adding or deleting information on academic and administrative documents.
Violations of the policy of academic honesty may result in a student being assigned a zero grade on an examination, assignment, research paper or other exercise, a
failing grade for the course, suspension, or dismissal from the program. In the case of fraudulent actions and/or misusing computer information resources, the offender
may be dismissed from the College.
Students may be dismissed for academic reasons without previous academic action, warning, or probation.
ADD/DROP PERIOD
The College has a designated timeframe known as the Add/Drop period when students may add, remove or change courses to finalize their schedules without financial
or academic penalty. The Add/Drop period varies based on course length. Students should discuss both course additions and drops with their faculty advisor or Program
Director, and also meet with the Financial Aid office. A student who attends a class beyond the Add/Drop period or does not initiate a withdrawal within the Add/Drop
period will be charged for the class. For this reason, it is important that students add and/or drop classes in a timely manner. Students whose names appear on the final
roster for a course will receive a final grade based on completion of course requirements.
During a 16-week course, students have the first 14 calendar days of the term to add, drop or change a course without penalty. During an 8-week course, students have
the first 7 calendar days of the course to add, drop or change a course without penalty. Students enrolled in two consecutive 8-week courses may add, drop, or change
courses during the first 7 calendar days. During the 2nd 8-week course, students may only change courses within the first 7 calendar days.
Note: Students may not drop any developmental course without the approval of Academic Affairs.
APPEALING AN ACADEMIC DISMISSAL
Any student who is dismissed for academic reasons has the right to appeal. Students wishing to appeal an academic dismissal must do so in writing and submit to the
Office of Academic Affairs. The written appeal must include the mitigating circumstances that contributed to the dismissal and include appropriate and official
documentation of such circumstances, along with an explanation of how these circumstances have been remedied or changed. The Academic Appeals Review
Committee (AARC) will review all appeals and recommend to the Vice President of Academic Affairs (VPAA) whether the circumstances that may have contributed to
the poor academic performance and resulting dismissal warrant consideration for reinstatement.
A student whose appeal has been recommended by the AARC and approved by the VPAA will be placed on SAP/FA Probation after one term has lapsed from the
previous academic dismissal and will only be eligible for initial enrollment at the start of a 16-week term. Exceptions may be considered by an Academic Dean or
VPAA. Students will be assigned an academic planning advisor, provided an academic plan of success, and may receive financial aid. See the section on SAP/FA
Probation for more information.
ATTENDANCE
Student attendance during all class sessions is essential for success at Lincoln College of New England. As such, students are expected to attend all class sessions.
Accumulated absenteeism in any one course will affect class performance and grades. Absenteeism can be accumulated through missing the class entirely or by being
tardy and/or leaving class early. Faculty may record late arrivals and early exits. During any absence, it is expected that the student will remain in regular contact with
the faculty. Excessive absenteeism may result in course failure. Excessive absenteeism is defined as one-third of the total contact hours for any course. Students are
responsible for all work missed while absent. For the specific requirements in individual courses, refer to the course syllabus provided by the faculty member. All makeup work is at the discretion of the faculty member. Students who have an overall last date of attendance that is fourteen days past the last day to withdraw may be
allowed the opportunity to participate in final exams. Failure to attend final exams will be considered as an indicator of enrollment for upcoming terms.
Students who do not attend any classes for 14 consecutive calendar days may have their enrollment terminated if no documentation supporting their return is available.
If enrollment is terminated during the withdrawal period, the student will receive a grade of “W.” If enrollment is terminated after the College’s withdrawal period, the
26
student will receive a grade of “F.” Online students who do not actively participate in any classes for 14 consecutive calendar days may have their enrollment
terminated if no documentation supporting their return is available. Simply accessing a course is not considered attendance. For purposes of attendance, active
participation is defined as one or more of the following:






Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity for direct interaction between the instructor and students; Submitting an academic assignment; Taking an exam, completing an interactive tutorial, or participating in computer-assisted instruction; Attending a study group that is assigned by the school; Participating in an online discussion about academic matters; and Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question about the academic subject studied in the course. AUDITING A COURSE (N)
Students do not receive credit for courses for which they enroll under the “audit” option. Students may audit courses only with the permission of the faculty for the
specific course, and conditions of the audit are determined by the Program Director. Audits must be declared at the time of registration with the Registrar’s Office and
are irreversible. A non-grade designation of “N” will automatically be recorded on the student’s transcript. See Fees and Expenses section for information regarding
audit fees.
CLASS REGISTRATION
Department chairs, program directors, faculty advisors or designee may assist students with selection of courses for degree completion. Although College officials may
help students in choosing their courses, ultimate responsibility for fulfilling program and graduation requirements rests with the student. Students may view their
unofficial transcript at any time through the MyCampusLINC student portal to determine the courses needed for degree completion. It is recommended that students
register as early as possible after registration begins each term as classes fill quickly and leave late-registering students fewer options and limited flexibility to meet
their lifestyle needs. The College reserves the right to change the schedules without prior notification; however, effort is made to contact students in the event a change
was necessary. Students may view a current schedule of their classes through the MyCampusLINC student portal. Please see the section on Electronic Student
Resources for more information.
COURSE SUBSTITUTIONS
Program Directors may recommend an equivalent course be substituted to fulfill a student’s degree requirement. Substitutions must be approved by the Academic Dean.
CREDIT HOUR DEFINITION
Lincoln College of New England offers both 8-week and 16-week terms. Credit is awarded on the basis of number of hours students are engaged both in and out of
classroom activities. For each credit awarded in a typical course per term, the student can expect to spend 15 hours in class, and 30 hours engaged in out of class
activities. Courses that contain a laboratory will require an additional 30 contact hours per credit hour. Internships, practicums, or clinical courses require a minimum of
50 contact hours per credit hour. Students should confirm the numbers of hours with their Program Director. Please note that contact hour to credit hour equivalencies
may differ for some programs as dictated by professional licensing organizations.
DEVELOPMENTAL COURSEWORK
Placement Evaluations
All applicants who seek degrees or certificates are required to take a placement evaluation to determine English writing skills prior to registration. The College uses the
placement evaluation to determine if additional composition assistance is needed in English. Placement evaluation scores are valid for three years. Certain SAT (450),
ACT (17 composite score) and AP (3) scores received within the past three years will exempt students from the English placement evaluation. Students who provide
evidence they have completed prerequisite English courses at other colleges or universities may also be granted a placement exemption. Students must bring evidence in
the form of official transcript(s) to receive exemption.
Enrollment in Composition Workshop
Based on the English placement evaluation, students may be enrolled in ENG096 English Composition Workshop. Credit earned in this workshop is in addition to
credits required for the students’ degree programs. Each student is granted two attempts to successfully complete ENG096. If a student fails to successfully complete the
workshop, the student will be placed on SAP/FA Warning for the following term. If a student fails to successfully complete the workshop after the second attempt, the
student will be dismissed from the College. Students dismissed for repeated workshop failures will be advised appropriately regarding appeals.
ENROLLMENT STATUS
Full-Time Student Status
A full-time student at Lincoln College of New England is one who has been accepted into a degree or certificate program and who carries 12 or more credits per term.
Students who wish to take more than 18 credits per term may request permission from their Program Director and the Office of Academic Affairs. An Excess Credit Fee
is charged. Please see the Fees and Expenses section for additional information. Students enrolled in degree programs that require a student to take more than 18 credits
in any given term will not be charged an Excess Credit Fee.
Part-Time Student Status
A student registered for less than 12 credits per term is considered a part-time student. Matriculated students who are not in their final term are encouraged to enroll in a
minimum of six credits per term. Please see the Fees and Expenses section for additional information.
27
FIRST-YEAR SEMINAR (FYS101)
Successful completion of the First-Year Seminar (FYS101) is a graduation requirement for all programs at LCNE. Students must take FYS101 during their first term at
the College unless prior arrangements are made with the FYS Program Director or Academic designee. Students may not withdraw from or drop the course. If students
believe they should be exempted from the course, a waiver request must be submitted to the FYS Program Director prior to term start. Requesting a waiver does not
guarantee approval, and waivers will not be accepted once the term begins. If a student transfers the programmatically required equivalent of 9 credits or more of
college-level coursework, the student will be waived from FYS and the credit will be applied.

INCOMPLETES (I)
An Incomplete (I) is normally granted by a faculty member only in two cases:
1.
2.
With the faculty member’s approval, if a student is unable to complete the required number of hours for internship, clinical or practicum experience before
the end of the term. The student must complete the required missing work by the end of the next term.
If there are documented extenuating circumstances that prevented a student from completing the required coursework by the end of the term (e.g. illness,
death in the family).
Incompletes will be converted to a grade of F if a student fails to makeup the required work by the end of the next term. The faculty member who authorized the
Incomplete must notify the Registrar’s Office of the grade assigned following submission of the required work or of the grade of F for failure to submit the required
work. Certain circumstances may require additional time to be granted complete work. Please consult with the Office of Academic Affairs to request an extension of the
Incomplete.
INTERNSHIPS
Many academic programs at Lincoln College of New England have internship requirements or options. Students are encouraged to further their career knowledge
through hands-on experiences in professional settings. In some courses and program of studies, a virtual lab may be utilized to simulate the internship experience. The
student is ultimately responsible for securing an appropriate internship site, unless otherwise specified by the respective program director. However, department chairs,
program directors and Career Services are available for assistance and guidance for all programs.
Many internship sites may require students to submit to a background check and/or drug screening. Students are responsible for any cost incurred due to these
requirements. In addition, students are responsible for transportation to and from internship sites.
Requirements for successful completion of an internship may vary by program. Students should consult with their Program Director before enrolling in an internship in
order to determine the requirements. The course INT300 Internship/Research Project may be course substituted for a non-programmatic accredited internship.
29
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Lincoln College of New England offers students in good standing the opportunity to request an academic leave of absence (LOA). This request can only occur between
academic terms. Degree seeking students who plan to be absent from the College for more than 2 consecutive 8-week terms (online programs) or one 16-week term (onground programs) must file a leave of absence request to preserve their current catalog rights with the Office of the Registrar. An LOA is designed to provide students
the opportunity to leave school for an extended period of time without withdrawing or affecting their satisfactory academic progress and intend to resume their
education with Lincoln College of New England at a later time. When possible, requests for leaves of absence should be filed in advance of the interruption in
enrollment. Reasons for requesting an LOA include (but are not limited to):
• Medical concerns/illness
• Death in the family
• Military duty
Notification of the decision to approve/reject a request for LOA will be provided in a timely manner.
LOAs are authorized in accordance with guidance contained in Accreditation, State and Federal regulations as follows:
• A student may be granted multiple LOAs during any 12-month period. The LOA together with any additional leaves of absence must not exceed a total of
180 days in any 12-month period.
• The length of any one LOA is determined in concert with the student and College administration.
Military and Uniformed Service Members
In addition to the above policy, all active duty military or uniformed service members who are unable to attend the entire term in which they are enrolled, a Leave of
Absence will be granted. The student must state the specific reason for the LOA on the Leave of Absence Request Form and the request must be accompanied by
supporting documentation. If the student is currently enrolled in a class and needs to request a Leave of Absence that leaves them unable to complete their current
course, the student will receive a ‘W’ (Withdrawn) grade for that class and be charged for that course. When the student returns to school and re-enrolls in that course,
they will not be charged for that re-take.
PREREQUISITE AND CO-REQUISITE COURSES
Students need to successfully complete prerequisite courses identified in course descriptions. Students enrolled in a course that follows a prerequisite who have not
successfully completed the prerequisite course need to drop the subsequent course prior to the end of the Add/Drop Period. Co-requisite courses identified in course
descriptions may be taken either prior to or concurrently with related courses.
PROGRAM CHANGES
Lincoln College of New England students are required to declare a program of study at the time of application. Over time, some students find that their interests and
abilities lead them in a different direction and wish to change their program of study. Program changes are recorded at the completion of current term through the
Add/Drop of the next term. The form used to request a program change is available at the Registrar’s Office. See section on Add/Drop Period for more information.
REPEATING COURSES
Federal financial aid regulations limit the number of times a student may repeat a course that has been successfully completed and receive financial aid for that course.
The following policy applies:
Students may receive federal financial aid funding for one (1) repetition of a course that has been successfully completed and credit earned. A passing grade is defined
as any grade higher than an F. If a student retakes a course that is not aid eligible, a recalculation of aid is done to exclude the credits for repeated courses. Students
taking repeated courses should consult with the Financial Aid Office prior to registration to ensure repeated courses are counted appropriately for financial aid
eligibility.
Students should also be aware that all coursework attempted is included in the calculation for Satisfactory Completion Rate requirements as well as the maximum hours
used to determine eligibility for federal financial aid. Repeated courses are handled according to LCNE regulations in which it is the most recent attempt that is used for
both graduation requirements and grade point average calculations.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Federal regulations require the College to monitor the academic progress of each student who applied for financial aid and to certify that each student is making
satisfactory academic progress towards a degree or certificate. In accordance with regulations, Lincoln College of New England has established standards of
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) that include qualitative, quantitative and incremental measures of progress.
The Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy applies to every enrolled student. The policy ensures that students make satisfactory academic progress toward
successful completion of their degree or certificate requirements and complies with the requirements of accreditation and other regulatory agencies. To remain in good
academic standing, a student must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress. Students should review their respective program of study and/or the section on
Programmatic Satisfactory Academic Progress for more information.
The College will evaluate students’ academic progress at the end of each term to determine if they are meeting satisfactory academic progress standards. Poor academic
performance may lead to SAP/Financial Aid Warning, SAP/Financial Aid Probation, Financial Aid Ineligibility, or dismissal from the College.
30
Minimum Standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress
To maintain satisfactory academic progress, each student needs to meet the minimum standards in each of the following criteria:
1. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): Students must meet minimum CGPA requirements by certain points during their enrollment to remain in good academic
standing at the College. The following chart illustrates the required CGPA milestones to meet SAP. Students who do not meet the minimum CGPA requirements based
on the number of credits attempted will be placed on SAP/Financial Aid Warning and subject to the policies listed above.
Credits Attempted
1-11
12-30
31-45
46+
Minimum CGPA Required
1.3
1.5
1.9
2.0
Please see the section on calculating CGPA for additional information.
2. Satisfactory Completion Rate (SCR): To continue enrollment in an academic program, students need to complete a minimum percentage of the total credits
attempted by the end of each term successfully. The required percentage of attempted credit hours completed by the end of each term is 66.7%. Students who do not
meet the minimum SCR requirements at the end of each term will be placed on SAP/Financial Aid Warning status and subject to the policies listed above.
3. Maximum Time Frame (MT): Students must successfully complete all degree or certificate requirements within the maximum allowable time frame, which is 150%
of the total number of credits required in each program. Students who, after attempting 150% of the minimum credits required to complete their degree or certificate
requirements, and still have credits remaining to be completed are no longer eligible for Title IV financial aid and need to seek alternative sources of funding to
complete their program.

All grades earned are included in the MT calculation. For students who change their program or are granted transfer credits from other institutions, the MT calculation
is based on the total number of credits in the program minus the number of credits applied to the program times 150%. All attempts of courses that apply towards the
new program are included in students’ MT calculations.

Example: If a student transfers 26 credits to a new program consisting of 60 credits, the MT calculation would be (60-26) = 34. (34 x 150%) = 51
credits. The student can attempt no more than 51 credits in the new program.
Note: Developmental courses are not included in the CGPA, SCR or MT calculations. However, each developmental course may be taken a maximum of two
times. Students who do not pass a development course after two attempts will be dismissed from the College. Students may be dismissed for academic reasons without
previous academic action, warning, or probation.
SAP/Financial Aid Warning
SAP/Financial Aid Warning status is assigned to students who fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress in any term according to the minimum standards outlined
below. Students on warning status are eligible to register and receive financial aid for one evaluation period despite a determination that they have not met either the
Institution's grade point average standard, completion rate standard, or both. Students placed on SAP/Financial Aid Warning may be required to meet with an Academic
Planning Advisor to review the students’ progress and formulate an academic plan for success.
The warning status ends and students are returned to good academic standing when they have met both the Institution's cumulative grade point average and completion
percentage standards by the end of the evaluation period. Students who have not met the Institution's cumulative grade point average, or the requirements of their
academic plan for success, by the end of the evaluation period, will be dismissed from the College. Students who are in good academic standing but have not met
completion timeframe standards may continue their studies at the College, but will not be eligible for Title IV Financial Aid. Students who want to continue receiving
Title IV Financial Aid may appeal, and if successful, will be placed on SAP/Financial Aid Probation.
Readmission following Academic Dismissal
Students who have been dismissed from the College for academic reasons are ineligible to register for courses or receive financial aid. Students may regain their
eligibility only through the Institution's academic appeal process. Students who have successfully appealed dismissal shall be placed on probation for one
evaluation period. If, at the end of the next evaluation period, students on financial aid probation status:

Have met the Institution's cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards, students shall be returned to good standing.

Have not met the Institution's cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards but have met the conditions specified in their
academic plan for success, students shall retain financial aid and registration eligibility under a probationary status for a subsequent evaluation
period.

Have not met the Institution's cumulative grade point average and completion percentage standards and have also not met the conditions specified
in the academic plan for success, students shall be dismissed upon completion of the evaluation.
31
SAP/Financial Aid Probation
SAP/Financial Aid Probation status is assigned to students who fail to make satisfactory academic progress in any term according to the minimum standards and have
been dismissed and reinstated following an appeal. Students on SAP/Financial Aid Probation are eligible for financial aid for that term and must achieve satisfactory
academic progress in that term to remain eligible as enrolled students at the College and eligible for future Title IV Financial Aid.
TRANSFER CREDIT
Students who have completed course work at other accredited, degree-granting institutions of higher education should request an official transcript from all institutions
attended and have the transcript(s) sent to Lincoln College of New England.
Upon receipt of the official transcript(s), the Registrar’s Office will facilitate the review of all transcripts in order to assess the transferability of credit. All transfer
credit will be evaluated for academic quality and its applicability to Lincoln College of New England curriculum. A recorded grade of “C” or higher is required for
transfer. Each transferred course will receive a designation of “TR” and will not be factored into CGPA.
Military and Law Enforcement Training
Students who have previous military or law enforcement experience and would like to acknowledge credits towards a degree program must request an official transcript
from their respective military service branch or law enforcement academy to be sent directly to the Registrar’s office of Lincoln College of New England. Each service
branch has their own system for recording your military education and experience credits and has a service center that maintains a record of training and work
experiences. Credit awards are based on the recommendations put forth in the American Council on Education (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational
Experiences in the Armed Services and completed by the Registrar’s Office in conjunction with the appropriate Program Director or Department Chair.
Non-traditional Credit
1. A student may earn up to 50% of their degree through approved credit that includes coursework taken through the CLEP credit, vocational-technical credit, and credit
earned at approved non-accredited organizations.
2. The student must demonstrate that the credit applied for meets the curriculum and standards of LCNE by supplying appropriate supporting documentation.
Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations
Students accepted into Lincoln College of New England may be awarded credit for a limited number of general education courses through the AP examinations.
Additional information regarding these examinations can be found at http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html. Students seeking credit must request
that an official score report from the College Board be sent directly to the Registrar’s Office prior to matriculation. A minimum score of 3 on AP examinations is
required to receive credit toward a course. Minimum score requirements are subject to change at any time. All credit awards will be considered on a case-by-case basis
and approved courses will be given the grade designation of Transfer Credit (TR). Credit will only be awarded for one course if both CLEP and Advanced Placement
Exam score are submitted for the same subject area.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Students accepted into Lincoln College of New England may be awarded credit for a limited number of general education courses through the CLEP examinations.
Additional information regarding these examinations can be found at http://clep.collegeboard.org/. Students seeking credit must request that an official score report
from the College Board be sent directly to the Registrar’s Office prior to matriculation. A maximum of 24 credit hours may be earned by taking examinations.
Undesignated departmental credit is awarded for scaled scores corresponding to the "B" grade in the ACE (American Council for Education) guidelines. Subject exams
with variable credit may be taken to earn specific course credit for scaled scores corresponding to the "B" grade in ACE guidelines. Credit by CLEP Examination is
regarded as transfer credit and is reflected on the LCNE transcript with a grade of TR. Credit will only be awarded for one course if both CLEP and Advanced
Placement Exam scores are submitted for the same subject area.
Credits Earned at Vocational-Technical and Approved Non-Accredited Organizations
Students who complete courses sponsored by employers, government agencies, labor unions, professional associations, and technical-vocational schools may be eligible
for transfer credit. The award of credit is on a course-by-course basis based on evidence that the learning is equivalent to college-level instruction and it directly relates
to LCNE curriculum. This type of evaluation must be approved and accepted by the respective program director, department chair or designee.
Non-U.S. Schools
The policy for transfer credits from non-U.S. schools generally follows the same guidelines as for transfer credits from U.S. postsecondary institutions. Lincoln College
of New England does not allow transfer credit from non-native English-speaking countries for English composition and writing courses. In addition to following the
procedures outlined above, international students seeking transfer credit must also send a certified English translation and evaluation of each transcript in a language
other than English from an approved translation agency such as World Education Services (www.wes.org). Students are responsible for the expense incurred for this
service. Both the official transcript and the certified translation must be sent to the Registrar’s Office.
Residency Requirement
LCNE requires that the final 25% of a student’s total credits be completed at the College. In particular programs, a student may be able to transfer up to 75% of the
credits for their degree. This refers only to credits transferred in from accredited, degree-granting, higher education institutions.

Students must submit official transcripts from all institutions attended.
Program directors and/or department chairs or a member of the Registrar’s Office will record transfer credit based on an evaluation of the submitted
transcripts. The College reserves the right to request additional information such as course syllabi, course descriptions, English language translations, and
academic catalogs prior to rendering the evaluation.
Only college-level (100-level or above) courses taken at U.S. regionally accredited institutions of higher education (or a non-U.S. equivalent) will be
considered for transfer. No developmental (non-degree credit) courses will be considered for transfer.
The scope of any transfer coursework must be comparable to the equivalent course taught at Lincoln College of New England.
Transfer credits from nationally postsecondary institutions or institutions that are located outside of the U.S. will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis.
32
TRANSFERABILITY OF LCNE COURSES
Lincoln College of New England does not guarantee transferability of its credits to any other institutions. The decision to accept transfer courses rests entirely with the
receiving institution. Official transcripts bearing the Lincoln College of New England seal will be mailed directly to other educational institutions or prospective
employers. To request a copy of an official transcript, students should:
1.
2.
Submit a completed request form with administrative fee of $10 to the Business Office. No telephone requests will be accepted. A form is available upon
request on the College website.
Students should check with the receiving institution to ensure the transcript was received.
WITHDRAWAL FROM A COURSE
Once the Add/Drop period expires, students have through the 10th week of a 16-week course (5th week for an 8-week course) to withdraw from a course. During the
withdrawal period, a “W” will be awarded. Students will be charged for these classes. Once the withdrawal period expires, students will remain on the course roster and
earn a grade based on completion of course requirements.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMS AND REQUIREMENTS
LEARNING OPTIONS AT LINCOLN COLLEGE OF NEW ENGLAND
On-ground Programs (often referred to as traditional learning)
Students enrolled in on-ground programs can expect to learn in an environment that requires nearly 100% of the program to be taught through on-campus instruction.
However, in accordance with the LCNE mission, all courses and sections have a designated Canvas shell wherein the course syllabus will be posted, gradebook
regularly updated, and other options available to the faculty and students.
Blended Learning
A portion of an on-ground course may utilize Canvas to submit assignments, take part in an online discussion, or participate in other activities. Additionally, in the
event of a class cancellation due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, faculty may opt to utilize Canvas in order to deliver course content.
Hybrid Learning
Some courses are officially designated as “Hybrid” courses. These courses will meet a prescribed percentage of time on-ground and a prescribed percentage
online. A minimum of 51% of the total course will be designated for on-ground learning.
Online Programs
A student enrolled in a fully online program does not have on-campus requirements. Fully online programs are asynchronous, meaning students can log into Canvas at a
time that fits their lifestyle and participation in course requirements. These requirements may include online lectures, videos, simulations, discussion threads and written
assignments.
