FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ACADEMICS
Q. What is the standard course load for a student?
A. Students typically enroll in four unit courses
(16 semester hours) during the fall and spring
semesters. However, students may enroll in five unit
courses (20 semester hours) during the fall and
spring semesters if they are Lycoming scholars or
were admitted to the Dean’s List at the end of the
previous semester. The Dean of the College may
grant exceptions. Overloads are not permitted during
the May and summer terms.
Q. How will my son or daughter know they are
progressing academically?
A. Students will be considered in good academic
standing if they meet the following standard:
Semester Hours Completed
Fewer than or equal to 16
More than 16, fewer than or equal to 32
More than 32
Min. GPA
1.85
1.95
2.00
Q. What is Web Advisor?
Web Advisor is a Web interface that allows students
to access their academic and financial information.
Web advisor provides account summary and
financial aid information by term or year. Web
Advisor enables students to search for available
classes, print class schedules, determine grade point
average by term or overall, print unofficial transcripts
of classes taken, and identify the courses needed to
complete any academic program at Lycoming.
Students with financial holds will be limited to view
only the financial screens.
Q. How many hours per week should my son or
daughter study?
A. There is no absolute answer to this question. The
general guideline is that students should spend 2 - 3
hours studying for every hour they spend in class.
The average class load is 16 hours per week, so using
the guideline the appropriate study time would be
between 32 and 48 hours per week.
Q. What is the Scholars program and why
should my son or daughter join it?
A. The Lycoming College Scholar Program
is a special program designed to meet the
needs and aspirations of highly motivated
students of superior intellectual ability.
Lycoming Scholars generally satisfy the
College’s distribution requirements with
more challenging courses than the average
student who is not in the Scholars program.
Lycoming Scholars also participate in special
interdisciplinary seminars and in serious
independent study culminating in a senior
project.
Students who do not meet the
standards for good academic
standing at the end of one
semester will be placed on
academic probation. Students on
academic probation are required
to pass ARC 100, Success Skills
Workshop, if they have not
already done so and are required
to attend programs developed by
the freshman and sophomore
deans. Students who do not
successfully complete 32 semester
hours in each academic year may
also elect to attend summer
sessions in order to complete the
degree in 4 years.
Q. How can students track their academic progress?
Students can track their progress toward fulfilling
their degree requirements on-line through Web
Advisor’s Program Evaluation feature. This program
shows the requirements that must be met for graduation and how they have been fulfilled. Web Advisor
can be accessed 24 hours a day through the web at
https://www.lycoming.edu/webadvisors/
Lycoming considers it to be the student’s responsibility to keep track of his or her graduation requirements.

Monthly special events
Scholars may audit a fifth course each semester
at no additional cost
The Individual Studies Committee may exempt
Scholars from the normal limitations of the
independent studies.
Q. Can students take classes at other institutions and
transfer them to Lycoming?
A. Yes, matriculated students who wish to study at
other campuses must obtain prior written approval to
do so from their advisor, the chair of the department
in which the credit will be awarded, and the Lycoming
College Registrar. Course work counting toward a
major or minor must also be approved in advance by
the chairperson of the department in which the major
or minor is offered. Once a course is approved, the
credit and grades for the course will be transferred to
Lycoming and calculated in the student’s grade point
average as if the courses were taken here. This means
that “D” and “F” grades will be transferred as well as
all other grades. Unapproved courses will not
transfer. Final determination of transfer credit will be
made by the Registrar based on official transcripts
only.
Students are expected to complete their last eight unit
courses (32 semester hours), and 16 semester hours
in their major at Lycoming. Requests for waivers of
this regulation must be sent to the Committee on
Academic Standards.
Q. Are summer courses available?
A. Yes. The College offers three summer sessions. May
term, a 4-week intensive session, has the majority of
academic courses as well as some travel and
experimental courses. May term is an opportunity for
students to get needed course work and still have the
summer free for work or recreation. Some students
want to get ahead while other students have fallen
behind and need to make credits. Summer sessions I
and II are primarily for internships, practica, and
independent studies. Students must register for May
term no later than the middle of April. They can
register for Summer Sessions I and II up to the
beginning of each session. Students can pick up a
registration form from the Registrar’s Office in Long
Hall. Their advisor must sign the form. 20% of the
class fee must be paid at the time of registration and
the balance before the session begins. Financial aid
does not apply to summer courses. Campus housing
is available during the May and summer sessions
although board is not available.
Q. Do students at Lycoming College cheat?
A. The College assumes that students are committed to
the principle of academic honesty. Students who
fail to honor this commitment are subject to dismissal.
Procedural guidelines and rules for the adjudication
of cases of academic dishonesty are printed in The
Faculty Handbook and The Student Handbook.
Q. What is the four-year graduation rate at Lycoming?
A. The graduation rate can be found on the Registrar’s
homepage: http://www.lycoming.edu/registrar/
Student-Right-to-Know/Student-Right-to-know.htm
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Q. Academic advisors are important to my student’s
orientation to college. How are advisors assigned?
A. Advisors and students are matched on the basis of a
shared academic interest. In most cases, the advisor
teaches in the student’s anticipated major. But this is
not always the case. Advisor and student might
share an interest in military history though the
student doesn’t intend to be a history major, or they
might share an
interest in
acting though
the student
wants to be a
computer
science major.
In any event,
because
freshmen are
beginning the
distribution
program and
taking a first,
introductory
course in the
major, any
advisor can
help them get
started. Later, when they’ve become acquainted with
other faculty and, perhaps, are sure about the major,
they can choose a different advisor.
The assigned academic advisor is not the only
resource your son or daughter will have. Any faculty
member will be happy to assist the student, and the
student may consult with the Coordinator of
Academic Advising, the Freshman Dean, or the
Director of the Career Development Center on
advising matters.
Many students change their minds about what they
want to study regardless of how certain they are at
matriculation. And, many are undecided about their
academic disciplines when they begin. So, working
with a skilled advisor who knows the distribution
program and is concerned about the student’s
academic progress are the most important
considerations.
17
Q. What if my student has trouble deciding on a major?
A. Choosing a major is a challenge for some students,
but the College provides time and resources to assist
the student in making a sound decision. Students
have until the end of the sophomore year to decide.
And, they have numerous resources to consult to
help them. Of course, the advisor will help explore
possibilities through course selection and
discussions about interests and abilities. The Career
Development Center is eager to work with students
to help them examine career options and to match
their interests and abilities with those options.
In some instances, students have trouble deciding
because they think the major must be biology OR art,
two very different disciplines. In fact, these
disciplines can be complementary. Perhaps the
student would like to be an illustrator for a
publication in the natural sciences. So, the option to
major in both is available. Or the student could major
in one and minor in the other. The real objective is to
discover the student’s abilities and interests and use
disciplines to develop them. Students with such
diverse interests and abilities can major and minor in
up to three areas as long as they have a major in one
of them.
Q. Is academic support available if my student needs it?
A. Absolutely. The Academic Resource Center, located
in the Snowden Library, provides tutoring support to
all students at no additional charge. We have a
Writing Center that will work with students in any
discipline on any stage of a paper in any course.
Students can arrange for private tutors in almost
every class by contacting the ARC. We offer a Study
Group Program in selected classes and will assist
students in setting up their own study groups. The
ARC offers support and arranges classroom
accommodations for students with disabilities. Study
skills instruction is available through ARC100, a
seven-week, non-credit course and on request from
groups and individuals. To access tutors or learn
more about the services available through the ARC,
we invite you to contact us or access our web site.
Mr. Dan Hartsock (570-321-4294;
[email protected]) is the Director, and Mrs.
Jane Keller (570-321-4392; [email protected]) is
the Assistant Director. Our web site is http://
www.lycoming.edu/arc/
Q. What do I do if I’m concerned about my student’s
academic progress?
A. The best thing you can do is keep the lines of
communication open with your student. Express
your concern and encourage your student to seek
assistance from the Academic Resource Center,
academic advisor, professors, and tutors.
18
Q. Can I speak with my student’s academic advisor
about my student’s academic progress?
A. Advisors will welcome your calls to discuss your
student’s progress. Keep in mind that students can
decide who is entitled to have access to their
academic reports. So, your advisor will first need to
be sure that your student has authorized you to have
that access.
Make sure that your student has signed the FERPA
(Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) form
authorizing you to have access to his/her records.
To be sure, contact the Office of the Registrar (570321-4145) or the Freshman Dean (570-321-4358). If
your student has signed the form, the advisor will be
able to discuss things with you. Also, if your
student has done so, you will receive copies of his/
her Early Assessment Reports (progress reports
mailed to the address on the FERPA form just before
mid-semester) and end-of-semester grade reports.
ALCOHOL AND DRUG ISSUES
Q. How does Lycoming address the misuse of alcohol by
its students?
A. There is recognition across the nation that alcohol
abuse among college students constitutes a serious
risk for students’ health and well-being. Alcoholrelated accidents cause more injuries and deaths
among college-aged students than any other single
cause. Lycoming College is deeply concerned about
alcohol misuse among its students and is, therefore,
taking a preventative approach in its educational
programs and policies. The College’s strategies are
based on two basic principles:
1.
The College is committed to preserving an open
and trusting community where we believe that
students will respond to educational
interventions. Further, we are a community
where individual rights are respected and not
compromised, for example, by unreasonable
intrusions into students’ rooms and personal
property.
2.
The College’s mission to provide a
distinguished liberal arts education in a
respectful community is seriously diminished by
the misuse of alcohol. Therefore the College
provides social events that do not include
alcohol, directly confronts alcohol misuse, seeks
treatment for those who require it, and imposes
disciplinary sanctions to prevent damage to our
educational community.
Q. Is drug use a problem on campus?
A. Instances of drug use on campus are rare. The
College takes seriously any drug use, possession, or
distribution allegation and pursues such cases
through its disciplinary system. In addition, in the
case of alleged violations where the drugs or
paraphernalia are discovered, all evidence is turned
over to the Lycoming County District Attorney’s
Office.
Q. Are there particular consequences for violations
involving alcohol or drugs?
A. Alcohol violations are cumulative throughout one’s
college career, with more serious consequences
occurring for repeat offenders. The first violation
brings a minimum $50 fine and an educational
assignment. The second violation includes
additional fines, educational assignments or
substance abuse assessment, notification of parents
and disciplinary probation. Third or subsequent
offenses may be heard by the College-Wide
Disciplinary Board that has the authority to suspend.
Students responsible for three or more violations are
likely to require substance abuse assessment and/or
treatment, lose privileges, and earn additional fines
and/or work hours.
Use, possession, or distribution of illegal drugs or
paraphernalia is considered by the College to be
serious violations. Students charged with these
offenses will be referred to the College-Wide
Disciplinary Board and will face charges by local law
enforcement agencies. The Disciplinary Board has
the authority to separate a student from the College.
If the Board chooses sanctions other than
suspension, these will likely include: fines, substance
abuse assessment and treatment, loss of privileges,
work assignments, disciplinary probation.
Q. Is there an alcohol and illegal drug policy at
Lycoming College?
A. With a wide variety of educational programs along
with defined disciplinary policies, Lycoming College
supports the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania regarding underage drinking and illegal
drugs, and also sponsors programs to teach students
habits of safety and responsibility. Located in the
Student Policies Manual in a section entitled
“Substance Abuse Notification,” is the
comprehensive policy that specifies particular health
risks of alcohol and other drugs, informs students
about the laws of the Commonwealth, and details
sanctions that can imposed as penalties for violating
college policies. The Student Policies Manual can be
accessed through http://www.lycoming.edu/stuaff/
handbook/
ATHLETICS
Q. How many varsity sports do you have?
A. Lycoming offers 19 varsity sports programs to
choose from. We compete at the NCAA Division III
level and are members of the highly competitive
Middle Atlantic Conference.
Q. Can students walk-on to an intercollegiate sport?
A. Walk-on opportunities are available. We recommend
that you try to contact the Head Coach of the sport
to express your interest, prior to walking-on.
Q. Are there athletic options for non-intercollegiate
athletes?
A. The intramural sports program offers a variety of
activities throughout the academic year. Yearly we
offer 8 - 10 intramural sports that are open to all
students. We anticipate the number of intramural
opportunities to increase upon the completion of the
new multipurpose recreation center.
Q. Does my insurance cover students injured while
participating in athletic or recreational events?
A. For athletics, intramurals, and recreational activities
sponsored by the College the parent’s primary
insurance will be used for students who might be
injured. Varsity student-athletes also receive
secondary coverage that is provided by the College.
Q. Are there medical personnel available to provide
health care to athletes during practice and games?
A. Two professionally certified full-time trainers and
several student trainers are available to cover all
practices and home games. If necessary, for away
games, the host school will provide trainers. The
training room is available to student-athletes for the
care and prevention of injuries.
Q. How do students travel to off-campus athletic or
recreation events?
A. Buses and vans are used for team travel. The Head
Coach is responsible for determining the best
transportation for the program. All travel plans take
into consideration weather and distance.
19
Q. Will students miss classes to participate in practices or athletic events?
A. No one is permitted to miss class for practice
participation. Some away events might conflict with
class. All Head Coaches are responsible for making
their travel plans available to students very early to
eliminate or reduce conflicts with classes and other
academic responsibilities. Student who do miss class
are responsible for meeting with their professors and
making up any missed activities.
CAREER SERVICES
Q. What role does the Career Development Center have
within the College?
A. The Career Development Center (CDC) provides
comprehensive career services to all students,
prospective students, and alumni. The Center
provides assistance in five main functional areas:
n Full-time and Part-time Employment,
n Internships,
n Graduate School Admissions,

copy graduate school guides, scholarship and
financial aid information, test applications, graduate
exam practice tests, and other information are
available.
Baby-sitting and Part-Time Job List:
College students can be referred to faculty,
administrators, and community members who require
services on a short-term basis. Students can pick up
a few dollars by baby-sitting, cleaning, shoveling
snow, raking leaves, mowing grass, etc.
Q. What career services are available to freshmen?
A. Services provided by the Career Development Center
are available to all students. In the first year, selfexploration of career interests tends to be the
prevailing concern for most freshmen. The CDC
assists freshmen with the identification of their
academic interests and their personal skills, interests,
and values through personal advising, the use of
self-assessment inventories, and participation in
educational programs.
The Career Development Center also provides
academic advising services to all students, in
addition to and in conjunction with, the students
regular academic advisor.
Q. Are career services available free of charge?
A. Most career services are available free of charge to all
students and alumni. A nominal fee is charged for a
couple special programs provided by the CDC due to
their high cost, their nature, and the need to
guarantee attendance.
Q. Are career services available to students in the
summers and after graduation?
A. Yes, the CDC offers its services free of charge to
perspective and current students and alumni.
Services can be accessed in person, or via phone, fax,
e-mail, or Internet.
Q. Should students complete an internship?
A. Yes! Yes! Yes!
Internships are highly
desired by students
because they enable the
application of classroom
knowledge in a practical
setting. Employers place
a high value on
candidates who complete
internships and other
practical experiences.
While not required,
internships and other
practical experiences are
strongly encouraged at Lycoming College. In fact, on
average over the past five years 80% of our
graduates participated in at least one practical
experience throughout their college career.
Opportunities for practical experiences such as
internships, independent study, and honors projects
are available through every academic major.
Q. What percentage of students get jobs related to their
major/minor?
A. The most recent postgraduate activity survey
conducted by the CDC indicates that 64% of entrylevel professionals rated their employment as directly
related to their major. 91% rated their employment as
directly or indirectly related to their major.
Q. Should students consider career options as they
register for classes their freshman year?
A. Students would be wise to consider career options at
every stage of their College career. However, career
options are not the only criteria for choosing classes
in the first year. Choosing classes based on
academic interest may best serve freshman. The first
year transition is difficult academically and socially.
Students tend to perform better in classes that match
their interests. Exposure to a variety of academic
areas (common in the freshman year) assist students
in identifying skills and interests that can help
identify career options.
Q. Does part-time work interfere with academic
performance?
A. Studies indicate that students working part-time up
to 20 hours a week during the academic schedule
actually do better academically than those who do
not work at all during the academic year. Working
more than 20 hours per week tends to have a
negative effect on academic performance. Part-time
employment opportunities on and off campus are
readily available. The CDC and the Office of
Financial Aid assists students in their search for parttime employment.
21
Q. How important are major choices to career
opportunities?
A. The academic major is one of the many important
choices that students make in regard to career
opportunities that they may pursue. Students are
encouraged to explore career opportunities through
the identification and development of skills, interests,
and values. Students should also test career
interests by involvement in related
employment, service learning opportunities,
internships, class projects, and campus
activities.
Q. How can parents assist their son or daughter
in making sound career choices?
A. The best thing parents can do is support their
son or daughter through regular
communication and encouragement of their
challenges. During the career development process
students go through many emotions such as
frustration, anxiety, and indecision as well as
excitement, motivation, and confidence. Your
emotional support will assist your son or daughter as
they meet new challenges associated with the career
development process. It is also important to
encourage your student to seek the assistance from
faculty and staff at Lycoming. We are experts in
these matters and are here to work in direct response
to your student’s individual needs.
Q. How does the liberal arts curriculum at Lycoming
College enhance my son or daughter’s career
goals?
A. In our rapidly changing work environment employers
seek professionals with the ability to think critically
and possess the ability to respond and adapt to a
variety of unknown challenges. Employers demand
employees who are flexible, take initiative, and
possess superior communication, teamwork,
leadership and interpersonal skills. These skills are at
the core of a liberal arts education. The broad based
education that a liberal arts curriculum provides is a
solid foundation for a lifetime of career and life
challenges.
Q. What is the placement rate after graduation?
A. While placement rates change with economic
conditions, generally between 92 - 98% of our
graduates accept employment or pursue advanced
degrees within six months of graduation. A
breakdown of this statistic over the past five years
indicates that between 70 - 75% of our recent
graduates move directly into the work force, and
between 13- 20% pursue advanced degrees
immediately after graduation. Surveys of graduates
three years after graduation indicate that on average;
about 40% are pursuing advanced degrees.
22
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Q. Does the College encourage student involvement in
community service?
A. The Community Service Center of Lycoming College
serves as a liaison between students, faculty, and
staff and community organizations in the greater
Williamsport area. The
Center provides an
environment for
student learning
through service and
reflection. Students are
challenged to fulfill
their civic
responsibility and
explore who they are in relationship to their creator,
peers, and those in need.
Q. What opportunities exist for students to become
involved in community service?
A. The purpose of the Community Service Center is to
serve as a liaison and facilitator for community
service opportunities between local agencies and the
college community. The Center helps students
looking for volunteer opportunities with their
interests or career goals in mind find a local agency
best suited for them. We remain in correspondence
with local agencies keeping informed of their work
and what type of student would best fit their needs.
The Community Service Center maintains a list of
over 75 local agencies in which to place student
volunteers. These agencies range from Adopt-AHighway to Habitat for Humanity, from Special
Olympics to Big Brother/Big Sister. Students can be
placed where their interests and gifts can be best
utilized.
COMMUTER STUDENTS
Q. What if my son/daughter wants to commute from
home?
A. Your student may live off campus if s/he is married,
living with parents within a 40 mile radius, living with
their dependents, or if they are 23 years or older.
Students who meet these criteria should contact the
Residence Life Office to indicate their intent and
describe how they are exempt from the Residence
Policy. Students may request to be exempted from
this policy for other reasons. Such requests should
be submitted in writing to the Dean of Student Affairs
at least three weeks prior to the beginning of the
semester that students are requesting permission to
live off campus.
Q. What opportunities are available for commuter
students?
A. The Commuter Student Organization of Lycoming
College was formed to represent and bring together
commuting students, to identify, publicize and fulfill
the special needs of commuter students, and to build
and support the bridge between commuter students
and the Lycoming College campus. It is a student-led
organization, and as such, can specifically identify
with the current needs of Lycoming College’s
commuter population.
The Commuter Student Organization offers not only a
representative body, but also friendly people to hang
out with. Members also include resident students, so
commuters and residents can get to know each other
better. The friendships formed between commuter
students last through their entire college career.
Through this association and its activities, commuter
students will get to know other residents, and have a
greater confidence that the entire student body is
really one big community.
COMPUTERS /TECHNOLOGY
Q. Should students bring a computer to campus?
A. There are sufficient numbers of computers in the labs
for students to do their work, but availability varies
depending on other classroom demands and time of
day. Computers are used for so much in the life of a
college student today, that unless a student wants to
spend a large part of their time in
a
computer lab, they would be best to bring their own
as over 90% of the other students do. Full details on
our Residential Network (ResNet) can be found under
Technology Services on the Lycoming College home
page. www.lycoming.edu/it
Q. What kind of computer should students buy?
A. Most of the courses use software on IBM compatibles (PCs), although students majoring in Art will
frequently use an Apple Macintosh computer. In
addition, PCs are the predominant standard that
students will find after graduation. For more details
on the exact recommendations, go to “Technology
Services” on the Lycoming College home page at
http://www.lycoming.edu/it/aca_comput/resnet.htm.
Q. What word processing software does the College use?
A. Microsoft Word is the standard used for interoffice,
classroom, and e-mail attachments. Versions found
on Office 97, 2000, and XP are all used. Discounts on
Microsoft Office are available from the Campus
Bookstore.
Q. Are computers available for sale at Lycoming?
A. IBM provides a laptop at a very special discounted
price through the Campus Bookstore. See the
“ThinkPad Program” at their web site and contact the
Bookstore personnel. www.lycoming.edu/bookstore/
Q. Are computers available around campus for student use?
A. There are five computer labs with over 100 state-ofthe-art computers all with high-speed connections to
the Internet. All computers have a CD/RW drive for
local storage or access to central network file storage
for all students. Availability of labs varies by time of
day and classroom use, which is posted outside the
labs. In addition to the labs, public computers are
available in the Wertz Student Center’s Jack’s Place
and in the Academic Center’s Pennington Lounge.
Q. What type of computer support does the College
provide the students?
A. There are student monitors working in the computer
labs who provide general support. Specific support
of a program, such as one doing statistics or calculus, is usually provided directly from the instructor.
Support is given from the Help Desk in Information
Technology Services for assistance in connecting to
the campus network. For troubleshooting and repairs
of student’s personal computers, students are
directed to local vendors in the Williamsport area or
to their computer supplier.
Q. Do students have access to the Internet and an Email account?
A. All students receive an e-mail account during summer
orientation that they can use immediately. Students
need to use Lycoming e-mail to receive campus-wide
notices and for many classes. All residential students have access to the Internet in their rooms to a
high-speed network. In addition, students have disk
storage that is backed up nightly on the network
servers for saving their most critical work. Students
can access both their campus e-mail and their
network accounts via the web from anywhere in the
world. Students can access their e-mail and network
accounts via the web at www.lycoming.edu/stuaff/
Q. Does the College use a filtering program to block
inappropriate material from the Internet?
A. We do not censor information coming over the
Internet. We do prioritize Internet traffic, giving email and web browsing the highest priority and music
downloads, games, and other entertainment programs
a lower transfer rate. The network is monitored for
viruses or illegal activity, such as hacking or supplying copyrighted files. Violators have their network
access blocked and respond according to computer
policies published at http://www.lycoming.edu/
stuaff/handbook/computerpolicies.htm.
23
Q. Does Lycoming have rules governing the appropriate
uses of computers on campus?
A. We have very clear rules about computer use on our
network. This can be found under “Policies” at the
“Technology Services” web page. In addition, the
Student Handbook outlines discipline procedures for
violations. We have little tolerance for abuse of our
network and take illegal activities very seriously.
www.lycoming.edu/stuaff/handbook/
computerpolicies.htm
Q. Is my computer safe on the network?
Last year was the most severe yet for viruses,
spyware, and attacks on Windows operating systems
that did not have up-to-date patches. Network
connections are immediately shut-off if they could
compromise the campus network. Reactivation is
only done after the machine is shown to be clean.
Recurring violations may be referred for judicial
action.
Q. What are the most common points to remember
about technology when coming to Lycoming?
Look carefully at the ResNet document under
Technology Services on the Lycoming College home
page. This has evolved over ten years and should
address most computer-related questions.
www.lycoming.edu/it/
Consider the following general guidelines.
n Have a 3Com or Netgear Ethernet card installed
before coming to campus, unless it is built-in by
the manufacturer. Refer to the “ResNet” link
under Technology Services.
n Bring your own 25-foot Ethernet cable to attach to
the network or buy it at the Campus Bookstore.
n Have installed a virus and spyware detection
program and make sure your Windows software
is fully updated.
n Bring your own phone.
n Bring a TV patch cable to go from the wall to the
TV. The Campus Bookstore also sells them.
n Fees for Internet, basic phone service, voice
mail, and cable TV are incorporated into the
Technology Fee. E-mail [email protected] or
call the Help
Desk (570)

COUNSELING SERVICES
Q. What services are available for students with
psychological needs?
A. All students, all people, have emotional and
psychological needs. The Counseling & Wellness
Center provides a safe place for all students to relax,
be themselves, and talk about anything that is on
their mind. Two professional counselors provide
individual, couples, and group counseling and
consultation.
In addition, specially selected and trained Peer
Counselors are available. These students are
carefully selected and extensively trained to listen
with an open mind and assist students in sorting out
their issues and deciding on a course of action. Peer
Counselors are also trained to provide conflict
mediation to resolve disputes. Peer Counseling is
confidential, private, and follows the same ethical
standards as our professional counselors. A Peer
Counselor can be contacted directly to arrange a time
and place to talk privately.
Q. What types of issues do students typically bring to
the Counseling Center?
A. Students bring just about every issue you can
imagine, from developmental concerns to academic
problems to serious mental health issues. With so
much going on in their lives, many students use
counseling simply as a way to process their
experiences, gain a broader perspective, and learn
new coping skills.
Q. How many students use the services of the
Counseling & Wellness Center?
A. Between 12% and 15% of our students use our
services each year. Many schedule ongoing
appointments, essentially using the sessions as a
weekly touchstone to process their experiences.
Others prefer to drop in once or twice each year as
specific needs arise. More students are utilizing our
services each year as they recognize the unique
opportunity to learn life skills in a one-on-one
setting. Many more students participate in our
wellness programs and campus outreach activities.
Q. Is the Counseling Center prepared to assist a
student in a psychological crisis situation?
A. Yes, we recognize that crises do occur and we are
always prepared to assist when needed. Usually, we
can work through a crisis in our office and help the
student turn it into a valuable life lesson. On rare
occasions, hospitalization is necessary and we work
with the local hospital staff to facilitate a speedy
transition back to campus.
Q. Where is the Counseling & Wellness Center located
and when is it open?
A. We are located on the third floor of the Wertz Student
Center. Our office is open Monday through Friday
from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and at other times by
arrangement with a counselor.
Q. What is the Wellness component of the Counseling
Center?
A. In addition to our counseling services, we also
provide a broad array of educational programs
designed to enhance students overall wellness.
Programs are often experiential in nature and cover
topics from self-esteem and relationship issues to
alcohol and other drug awareness to yoga and
relaxation techniques.
Q. Are counseling records kept confidential?
A. Yes, all
counseling
records and
relationships
are kept
strictly
confidential
in accordance
with
professional
and ethical
guidelines. No information will be shared with
anyone without the student’s written consent, except
in the case of medical emergency or life-threatening
situations.
Q. Will a counselor contact me if my son or daughter
uses their services?
A. The counseling relationship is private and
confidential. If communication with parents is
therapeutically beneficial, the counselor will seek
written permission from the student before sharing
any information. Of course, counselors always
encourage students to maintain open communication
with their parents.
Q. What should I do if my student seems depressed or
unhappy?
A. Distance parenting is a new skill that we learn when
our children go off to college. It is important to keep
emotions in perspective and understand that our
students will have bad days and will be unhappy for
periods of time. They need our support, but will
usually work through their experiences on their own.
CULTURAL DIVERSITY
Q. In what ways does the College encourage awareness
of diverse cultures?
A. The College’s mission statement indicates that
understanding of cultural diversity is a primary goal
of learning both in the classroom and in
extracurricular activities. Student organizations such
as the Black Student Union, the GLOBAL (Gays,
Lesbians, Or Bisexuals and Allies at Lycoming)
organization, the Multicultural Awareness Group
provide a variety of programs of interest to the
campus community. In addition, at a small college
like Lycoming students have many informal and
meaningful opportunities to learn about their peers
who may be different in terms of ethnicity, religion,
sexual orientation, country of origin, or ability.
Faculty and staff, along with students, provide
speakers, educational programs, and discussion
opportunities that focus on issues surrounding
diversity. The Black History Month Program Series,
sponsored by the Office of Student Programs, is one
such opportunity to explore diverse perspectives. To
enhance an understanding of diversity the Student
Affairs staff along with individual faculty and
administrators, invite student ideas and creative
approaches.
Q. What support services are available to minority
students?
A. As you have already recognized, Lycoming College is
rich with support services, such as the Academic
Resource Center, the Counseling and Wellness
Center, the Assistant Dean for Freshmen, the
Assistant Dean for Sophomores, and the Student
Affairs staff. Each of these resources is available to
all students and all are flexible enough to tailor
services to the particular needs of minority students.
For questions
about which
services might
be best
equipped to
deal with
various
concerns,
students
should contact
the Office of
the Dean of
Student
Affairs.
However, if you become truly concerned and believe
that counseling can be helpful, don’t hesitate to call
for a confidential consultation. We can’t always keep
our students happy, but we aim to keep them well.
25
DINING SERVICES
Q. Can students voice their enjoyment or concerns with
menu options and food selections?
A. The staff of Sodexho is very open to hearing from
students, faculty and staff about the quality of their
food and its presentation. A comment board is
located at the main entrance of the dinning hall and
all are welcome to write their comments on a comment
card and post it on the board. Sodexho management
answers each and every question or comment and
implements any suggestions that are plausible.
Sodexho management also meets regularly with
Student Senate so that students can communicate
their enjoyment of or concern with food selection,
quality, and presentation.
Q. What options are available for students with
restricted diets?
A. Sodexho provides a variety of food options
including:
n The Hot Entrée Line Features home style
classics with steaming accompaniments, but
always includes a vegetarian entrée.
n Pasta and International Cuisine There’s
something new every
day. Choose a
homemade pasta dish or
something a little more
exotic from around the
world.
n Soup and Salad Bar
Fresh homemade soup
every day (one
vegetarian) and a huge
selection of garden
fixings, fresh fruits and
vegetables.
n Café Grille Freshly
grilled hamburgers,
cheeseburgers, grilled
cheese sandwiches,
chicken patties, and fries.
n Deli Board Delicatessen meats, natural cheeses
and a variety of breads.

pepperoni to Hawaiian.
n Bakery We make our own fresh breads, bagels,
cookies and brownies right on the premises.

different flavors anytime. We also have a softserve ice cream station.
If the above choices do not meet a student’s unique
dietary needs, Sodexho will work personally with that
student to provide high quality alternative food
selections.

Q. Are food services offered outside of the dining
room?
A. In addition to the Dining Hall, food service is
provided in three other areas around campus
Jack’s Place is located upstairs in Jack’s Corner.
This location provides a full service menu which
includes: chicken tenders, chicken wings, grill items,
deli sandwiches, fresh salads, and an assortment of
desserts and beverages. Flex dollars are accepted
here.
Jack’s Market is located in the center of Jack’s
Place, a small convenience mart right on campus.
This is the place for milk, orange juice, packaged
cookies, cereals, chips, canned goods, etc. It is also
the home of “Good To Go” food items. Flex dollars
are accepted here.
Service Express is located in Pennington Lounge. It
offers a variety of sandwiches, snacks, refreshments,
and other quick pick up, to-go food items. Flex
dollars are accepted here.
Q. How does the Jack’s Place declining balance plan
work?
A. Unlimited dining participants receive a minimum of
$50.00 in Flex Dollars each semester depending on
the meal plan chosen. Think of these dollars as a
“prepaid food account” that allows you to make
“cashless” purchases. Flex dollars are accepted at
Jack’s Place, the Dining Hall, and the Pennington
Lounge Snack Shop.
Q. How can I help my son or daughter celebrate special
occasions?
A. Campus Ministry provides two special services for
parents to lend support, lift spirits, and show your
continued care and love for your son or daughter.
They are birthday cakes during the acaademic year
and care packages for the fall semester final exam
week. Information is sent to parents each summer
about the program. You may also contact Campus
Ministry by phone: 570-321-4065, or
e-mail: [email protected]
FINANCES
Q. How are students billed?
A. Students will receive a Fall and Spring Semester bill.
Along with the two semester bills, monthly bills will
be sent home for any charges incurred during the
month. (I.e. long distance phone charges, bookstore
charges, etc.)
Q. Are opportunities available for students to work
while on campus?
A. A variety of student employment positions are
available. It is the student’s responsibility to find
employment. Contact departments of interest for job
availability. If the student’s are unable to find
employment, contact the Financial Aid office.
Q. How many hours of work are appropriate for a fulltime student?
A. Students can work as little as 4 hours per week and
typically not more than 20 hours per week with a fulltime schedule.
Q. Are there banking facilities located on or around
campus?
A. There is an M&T Bank ATM machine located in
Wertz Student Center as well as a full service ATM
approximately one block from the College. Several
banks are available during Fall Check-in to establish
accounts for our students.
Q. Should a student have a local checking account and
credit card?
A. It’s a matter of preference. If the student is going to
use the ATM machine, check with the student’s bank
to see if fees will be assessed for using an ATM
machine from a different bank. Most students have
credit cards. They are one method of building credit
and developing sound spending habits.
Unfortunately, students can and do misuse credit
cards. Students must learn to use credit cards
appropriately and parents are their best teachers.
Q. How much spending money do students need?
A. While this certainly varies by student, the range can
go from $100 to $400 per month.
FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES
Q. What importance does fraternity and sorority life
play on campus?
A. Greek organizations at Lycoming College are an
important component
of the institution’s total
educational program.
As such, they are
partners with the
College in a mutually
supportive educational
endeavor. Greek
organizations and
Lycoming College
sustain their
relationship with a
mutual pledge to
promote group
responsibility and
mature group conduct
through the following
areas: internal chapter operations, external chapter
operations, scholarship, membership development,
alumni/ae relations, educational and social
programming, and risk management.
Fraternities and sororities provide students with a
support network of close friends, a training ground
for developing leadership and interpersonal skills and
a pathway to involvement in campus activities and
community service. Approximately 22% of the
student population is involved in the Greek system.
Q. What responsibilities are entailed in joining a
fraternity or sorority?
A. The level of responsibility is generally up to the
individual and the organization that they join. In
general, all members are expected to pay dues, attend
chapter meetings, participate in service-oriented
projects, and recruit new members. In addition, there
are opportunities for leadership positions, through
election or appointment.
Q. Can students join a fraternity or sorority in their
first year?
A. The Greek governing bodies at Lycoming require
individuals to have a minimum cumulative GPA to
“rush” or seek membership. Therefore, only second
semester freshmen, who meet the minimum 2.20 grade
point average, are allowed to join a fraternity or
sorority in their first year.
27
Q. What is the procedure for recruiting, joining, and
pledging a fraternity or sorority?
A. Students must have completed one semester at
Lycoming and maintain a cumulative grade point
average of 2.20 or higher in order to be recruited for
membership. Students who wish to join are invited
to participate in recruitment events on campus and in
the fraternity and sorority lounges. All events are
alcohol-free.
Students who wish to join must receive a bid, or an
invitation to join, from the organization. The pledge
period, or New Member education period, may last no
longer than four weeks. In general, 95% of students
wishing to join a Greek organization have received a
bid.
Q. Does hazing occur at Lycoming College?
A. Hazing is strictly prohibited by Lycoming College.
The Greek community works hard to educate its
members. Mandatory anti-hazing workshops are held
each semester and all of the National organizations
have strict risk management policies prohibiting all
forms of hazing. Organizations are required to
sponsor educational workshops for their members
and the campus community.
Any and all allegations of hazing are taken seriously
and are investigated. Any individuals found to be
involved in hazing activities may be brought before
the Organizational Standards Judicial Board. In
addition, hazing is a crime in the state of
Pennsylvania and those involved may face criminal
prosecution.
Q. Will my son or daughter’s grades drop if they join a
fraternity or sorority?
A. Academics are the primary mission of the College and
its organizations. As a result, Lycoming College
monitors the grades of all of our Greek members and
organizations on a semester basis. Currently,
Lycoming’s Greek organizations maintain a grade
point average equal to the all-men and all-women’s
averages. Chapters that consistently fall below the
all-college grade point average are placed on
probation.
In addition, each chapter has a designated Academic
Chair who monitors the progress of each member and
pledge. During the pledge education period,
chapters are expected to spend at least ten hours a
week in mandatory study periods. Each chapter has
an advisor who assists the members with academic
issues and goals.
28
Q. Is it expensive to join a fraternity or sorority?
A. The costs of joining vary by group. All of
Lycoming’s fraternities and one of the sororities are
Inter/National organizations. That is, they have
chapters across the United States and Canada. As a
result, members will pay dues to the Inter/National
Headquarters and to the local chapter. Local chapter
dues are decided by the local membership. Inter/
National dues generally pay for insurance premiums,
membership materials, and services provided by the
Headquarters. The three local sororities set their own
fees with which they maintain insurance, and operate
their organizations.
A recent national survey showed that members of
Greek organizations spend, on average, only 5% of
their income on Greek related expenses.
Q. What fraternities and sororities are currently on
the Lycoming College campus?
A. Lycoming College is currently home to 2 National
Sororities, 3 Local Sororities, and 5 National
Fraternities. Our groups are: Alpha Rho Omega,
Alpha Sigma Tau, Alpha Xi Delta, Beta Phi Gamma,
Gamma Delta Sigma, Kappa Delta Rho, Lambda Chi
Alpha, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Mu Delta, and Tau Kappa
Epsilon.
Q. How does the College hold fraternities and
sororities accountable for their actions?
A. Fraternities and sororities, like all campus
organizations, may be brought before the campus
discipline system any time their behavior warrants
action. In addition, all Greek organizations work
closely with the Assistant Director of Student
Programs. The Assistant Director lives in campus
housing and is available to work with the groups if an
incident occurs.
Q. Are there any offcampus fraternity or
sorority houses?
A. No, the City of
Williamsport has
placed restrictions on
the number of people
living in a housing
unit. Years ago, the
College made the
decision to house its
Greek organizations on
special floors in East
Hall and Wesley Hall.
The floors come with a lounge, library, and kitchen
facilities. These floors are self-managed by the
officers and report to the Assistant Director of
Student Programs.
HEALTH CARE
Q. What services are available for students with special
concerns?
A. Students with special medical concerns should speak
to the Nurse Director about their needs. The Health
Center can work with their family doctor or help make
referrals to specialists in the community to help meet
their needs.
Q. Is our family’s medical plan sufficient for a student
at College?
A. Parents should review their current insurance plan
carefully. If students are covered under a Managed
Care Plan (HMO’s, PPO’s, POS’s) parents and
students should be familiar with the rules for
accessing health care away from home.
Q. What student health information should the College
be made aware of?
A. Student Health records are confidential and
information is not shared with other members of the
College without the student’s permission. Students
with special medical needs should consider who
needs this information and share the information as
appropriate.
Q. If a student has special medical needs can the
College accommodate them?
A. Students with special medical needs should speak
with the nurse director about any special
accommodations. Residential students should
contact the Residence Life Office with documented
needs for special living accommodations.
Q. Is there a doctor or other medical professionals on
campus?
A. The Health Center is staffed by a full time and part
time RN, appointments are highly recommended since
other responsibilities take the nurse away from the
Clinic from time to time. A doctor is available to
students several hours a week; appointments are
necessary and can be made after being seen by the
nurse.
Q. How far is the nearest hospital/emergency room?
A. The Williamsport Medical Center is approximately
1-1.5 miles from campus.
Q. Does the College transport students to doctors’
offices or the hospital?
A. Students are responsible for their own transportation
for off campus health care. Safety and Security will
transport students to the Emergency Room or phone
for an ambulance as appropriate.
Q. If a student goes to the hospital for emergency
medical attention will the family be notified?
A. Parents are not automatically notified if students are
taken to the hospital (students often go to the ER
without Health Services knowledge). Parents are
notified if students are transported to the hospital for
alcohol reasons. If a student requests the Health
Center staff to contact parents, or the staff otherwise
feels this is appropriate, then parents are notified.
It is important, therefore, that parents or students
keep the College informed of any change in address
or phone number where parents can be contacted.
Q. What if a student becomes sick while at college?
Ill students have several options. If students are
close enough to home they may choose to continue
seeing their family doctor. Students may also opt to
use the college’s health services which is open
Monday through Friday 8:30am - 4:00pm. Students
may also decide to use community resources such as
the Community Health Clinic at the Divine
Providence Hospital (approximately 1 mile from
campus).
Q. Are students excused from classes if they become
sick?
A. Health Services does not write class excuses for
routine illnesses such as colds, flu, sore throat,
headache, stomach ache, diarrhea, etc. Students
should speak with their individual professors about
making up work missed due to illness. If a student
has a serious illness requiring extended bed rest or
hospitalization the Health Center will assist the
student in providing documentation for missed work.
Q. Are medical records kept confidential?
A. All student health records are kept confidential and if
a student is over 18 years of age this includes
parents. The student must give permission before
information will be released.
29
Q. Should my son or daughter get the meningitis shot?
A. The American College Health Association
recommends freshman living in the residence halls
should become educated about meningitis and
consider vaccination. A new law in Pennsylvania
(effective August 30, 2002) requires the meningitis
vaccination or a signed waiver for medical/religious/
ethical reasons for all students living in residence
halls. Students unable to get the vaccination from
their family doctors may make arrangements though
Health Services to get the shot.
Q. What is the procedure for obtaining information
about the health status of our son or daughter?
A. Parents who want information regarding their son/
daughters health status should first speak with their
son/daughter! If parents have further questions the
student should call the Health Center to give the staff
permission to speak with parents.
Q. My student waived the College health insurance
policy. Can they use the Student Health Center?
A. All students are welcome to take advantage of the
many services provided at the Health Center
regardless of purchase of the school health
insurance. All students are required however to be
covered by some health insurance plan either a
parent’s plan or the school’s plan.
MAIL SERVICE
Q. How should I address mail to my son or daughter?
A. First Line ................................................... Student Name
Second Line .................................. Campus Box Number
Third Line .............................................700 College Place
Fourth Line .........................................Lycoming College
Fifth Line ...........................Williamsport, PA 17701-5192
Q. How should large packages be addressed to ensure
that they get to my student?
A. Some package carriers will not deliver to Post Office
Boxes. Lycoming has a central post office that
assigns each student a campus box. Local carriers
know our system and will deliver packages. To
ensure deliver of packages, address as above and if
needed explain the system to your local carrier.
Q. Will mail be forwarded to my son or daughter during
breaks and over the summer?
A. During the summer and after graduation, all first class
mail is forwarded. Second and third class mail is not
forwarded by the College’s mailroom. It is the
student’s responsibility to notify all correspondents
of their change of address.
30
PERSONAL CONDUCT
Q. Does the College hold all students to standards for
personal conduct?
A. Yes. Because we live in a community that values
ethical behavior, reasonable discourse (instead of
rash action), and respect for the dignity of each
community member, we have a Code of Student
Conduct that lists the types of behavior that are not
allowed on campus. You can find the Code of
Student Conduct at http://www.lycoming.edu/stuaff/
handbook/codeofconduct.htm
Q. If my son or daughter gets in trouble will I be
notified?
A. No and yes. For minor violations, such as noise, first
alcohol offense, prohibited items, you will not be
notified. We believe that in these kinds of situations,
students can determine whether or not their parents
will be involved. For more major violations, such as
drug possession, a second or subsequent alcohol
offense, or if the student is facing possible
suspension from college, parents will be notified via
mail or phone call. We believe that when parents are
involved, we can be much more effective in
encouraging good citizenship and better the chances
for future success and continuation at the College.
Q. What happens to students who violate the Code of
Student Conduct?
A. If a student is accused of violating the Code of
Student Conduct, they may have an administrative
hearing, or a hearing with one of the College’s
disciplinary hearing bodies. In many cases students
have the option of negotiating a sanction with the
hearing officer. The most serious cases are sent to
the College-Wide Disciplinary Board, which has the
option to suspend students from the College.
Students found responsible for violating the Code
may be given educational assignments, fines, work
hours, make restitution, loss of the privilege to
represent the college in athletic or extracurricular
activities, placement on disciplinary probation,
suspension from residence halls or separation from
the College.
Q. Can students be arrested for infractions that occur
on campus?
A. Lycoming College cooperates fully with the state and
local authorities in matters of criminal activity. Some
infractions
of the
Code of
Student
Conduct
are serious
enough to
bring
criminal
charges in
addition to
disciplinary
action by
the
College.
The types
of
incidents
likely to be
referred
offcampus, include, but are not limited to: drug law
violations, physical or sexual assault, tampering with
fire safety equipment, or fraud.
Q. If students get in trouble off campus, will the College
get involved?
A. In cases when the College’s interests are affected
(which most frequently occurs in the case of serious
criminal allegations), the College has the authority to
take action through its disciplinary system.
PERSONAL EMERGENCIES
Q. Who should we contact if there is a family
emergency that needs the attention of the student?
A. On Weekends and After 4:30 p.m. on Weekdays:
If you can’t reach your student, contact the Office of
Safety and Security at (570) 321-4604. A staff member
from Security or from the Student Affairs Division will
work with you to make contact with your student.
On Weekdays (Between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m):
Contact the Dean of Student Affairs Office at
(570) 321-4039. The Dean or a member of the Student
Affairs staff is available to discuss any special
concern or to help a student in a crisis situation.
RECREATION
Q. What recreation activities and facilities are available to students?
A. All students are welcome to use the fitness center
and free weight facility located in Lamade Gymnasium
and the new Recreation Center. Both of these
facilities include state of the art equipment. The main
floor of Lamade Gym is available to students when
not being used for class and varsity practices, while
the Recreation Center will be available during open
hours. The new 54,000 square foot Recreation Center
includes four basketball courts, with options for
tennis and volleyball, an 1/8 mile indoor track,
expanded weight room and a new cardio room
including treadmills, ellipticals, bikes and rowers.
Also, the swimming pool has open swim during the
day and weekends when lifeguards are available. A
steam room and sauna are available for use by all
students and are located on the lower level of the
gym. Green space on the Quad and in the South
Quad is available for students to use for outdoors
activities.
Q. Are there athletic options for non-intercollegiate
athletes?
A. The intramural sports program offers a variety of
activities throughout the academic year. Yearly we
offer 8 - 10 intramural sports that are open to all
students. The number of sports will increase this
Fall, with the addition of the new Recreation Center.
Q. What sports are offered for participation?
A. The recreation and intramural sports website will
have up to date information on what sports are
available and when registration occurs. Check out
our website in the Fall at http://www.lycoming.edu/
intramurals/.
Q. How do I register a team for intramural sports?
A. All rosters can be submitted online from a link on the
recreation and intramural sports website. The
schedules will be posted on the website.
Q. How can I join a team?
A. While we try to recommend that students find their
own team to participate with, if you do not already
have a team, come to the captain’s meeting and we
will try to place you on a team.
Q. Does my insurance cover students injured while
participating in athletic or recreational events?
A. For athletics, intramurals, and recreational activities
sponsored by the College the parent’s primary
insurance will be used for students who might be
injured. Varsity student-athletes also receive
secondary coverage that is provided by the College.
31
Q. Are there opportunities for outdoor recreation/
adventure?
A. Williamsport and the surrounding area provide many
opportunities to explore. State parks, streams,
mountains, and other natural wonders surround the
Williamsport area. The College has an outdoor
recreation club that plans a variety of recreational
events.
RESIDENCE LIFE
Q. Are students required to live on campus?
A. As a residential college, Lycoming College requires
all full-time students to live in college housing and
participate in the College board plan each semester of
the academic year that they are enrolled. Students
who are 23 years of age or older, married, have
dependents, or live with their legal guardians within a
40 mile radius of the campus are eligible to commute.
We do not provide housing for students who have
dependent children living with them.
Q. Will the College make housing arrangements for
my son or daughter?
A. Initially, your son/daughter will indicate their intent
to live on campus housing when s/he confirms their
admission to Lycoming. In late April/early May a
mailing is prepared for all incoming freshmen that
includes directions for accessing Orientation
information and a Housing License on-line. Once
received by the Residence Life Office, the Housing
License confirms your son/daughter as a resident
student.
Q. Are residence halls co-ed or single sex?
A. With the exception of Rich Hall, which houses upper
class women, our residence halls are co-ed by wing.
This means that
women live on
one side of the
floor with their
own bathroom
and men live on
the other side
with a second
bathroom. Our
Greek floors are
single gender as
are the College
Apartments.
32
Q. How many roommates will my son or daughter have?
A. Most students live in double rooms with one other
student. There are a number of rooms on campus,
available to upper class students that are built as
triple rooms. In four of our upper class halls,
students live in
“suites” where
two rooms are
joined by a
bathroom.
We sometimes
have a greater
number of
freshmen
resident
students than
can be
accommodated
in our freshman
residence areas.
When this is the
case, we
temporarily
triple students.
We adjust the furniture in the rooms to provide a pair
of bunkable beds, a lofted bed, and an additional
desk, desk chair, desk lamp and dresser. Students in
these rooms are given first option to move as
vacancies arise. When students have the
opportunity to move into a double, we refund
student accounts one-third of their room rent for the
time that they were in an unrequested triple room.
We are very sensitive to the issues involved in these
temporary triples and work with students to quickly
address issues that may arise.
Q. Can students choose their roommates?
A. New students can choose their roommates if the
request is mutual and it is received before
assignments are made (usually late June/early July).
Roughly one-third of our new students identify a
roommate. Returning upper class students can select
their room, hall, and roommate through our spring
room selection process.
Q. What system is used to match roommates?
A. Students who have not identified a roommate are
matched with a roommate based on the preferences
indicated on their Housing License. It is very
important that students, not parents, complete the
Housing License truthfully; you may be mistaken in
your belief that your son/daughter does not smoke or
wants to live in a substance free area.
Q. What happens if my son or daughter has a problem
with their roommate that he/she can’t resolve?
A. Successfully sharing a room with another person
requires communication, collaboration, and
compromise. While most students live well together,
there are times when roommates do not get along. In
these circumstances, we encourage students to turn
to their Resident Advisor for assistance. S/he can
serve as a neutral third-party and may be able to
suggest ways to improve communication between
roommates. If this is not successful, we frequently
suggest a meeting with the RA and all roommates to
get the issues out in the open and to negotiate a
roommate agreement. Remember that resolution of
tension and disagreements between two or more
people requires cooperation from each of the
involved individuals. You should not expect the
problem to be “fixed” without wholehearted and full
cooperation from all roommates, which may require
your student to adjust behaviors as well as the
roommate doing the same.
It can be very difficult for a
parent to hear that their
student is having a tough time
with a roommate and many
parents understandably get
emotionally involved. You can
be most helpful to your
student by listening, being
supportive, and encouraging
your student to speak directly
with their roommate. If these
steps are unsuccessful, you
can refer your student to a
residence hall staff member.
Q. Are there quiet areas in the
residence halls where
students can study?
A. All residence halls have
lounges available to students
for studying purposes. Halls
that house freshmen have at least one multipurpose
main lounge, for studying, socializing, and for
community activities and meetings with the Resident
Advisor. In Asbury, there are two small study rooms
on each floor. In addition to these areas, students
often utilize their own rooms, the library, Pennington
Lounge, Jack’s Corner, and their favorite classroom or
lab space to complete their academic work.
Q. Does the College cover property, theft, or fire losses
for residence hall rooms?
A. We strongly encourage families to obtain renter’s
insurance for their students’ belongings. You should
also check with your homeowner’s policy for
potential coverage of possessions housed at
Lycoming. College insurance provides coverage for
personal losses only after a significant deductible.
Information about one company that provides renters
insurance is included with the mailing of your new
student’s housing assignment or you can go to http:/
/nssinc.com for more information about National
Student Services products.
Q. What are the student’s housing options?
A. All freshmen live in our freshman residence areas in
Asbury, Skeath and Wesley Halls. The staff in these
halls have been selected specifically to work with
freshmen and receive some additional training for
these tasks. Our FYRST program www.lycoming.edu/
reslife/fyrst.htm includes a program
series that addresses first year
student issues and STudent
Academic Resource (STAR) staff are
available only in our freshman
residence areas.
Q. What furnishings are provided
in residence hall rooms?
A. Residence hall rooms
include a bed, mattress, desk, desk
chair, dresser space, closet, and a
mirror. Students are encouraged to
personalize and decorate their rooms
and can find window and floor space
measurements at www.lycoming.edu/
reslife. We do have a variety of
guidelines to protect our residence
hall facilities as well as policies that
involve safety issues, such as fire.
Please refer to www.lycoming.edu/
reslife/roomregs.htm for details.
Students may rent at www.duraloft.com or provide
their own lofts using our guidelines
www.lycoming.edu/reslife/loft.htm. Compact
refrigerators and small microwaves are permitted;
refer to our web page for details.
Q. What personal possessions should students bring to
school with them?
A. A list of recommended items to bring (and what not
to bring!) can be found on our web page
www.lycoming.edu/reslife.
33
Q. Are there intensive study or substance free
residence halls?
A. Our upper class housing includes the option to live
on our LIFE floor (Living In a substance Free
Environment) as well as our Creative Arts floor and
Greek floors. Substance Free and Intensive Study
floors are available in our FYRST areas if there is
sufficient interest.
Q. Are residence halls smoke-free? Is smoking
allowed in individual rooms?
A. Smoking is prohibited from all public areas of the
residence hall (i.e., hallways, stairwells, lounges,
laundry rooms, student rooms, etc.). Smoking is
allowed in a residence hall room if all roommates
agree and if the room is on a designated smoking
floor. In order for a floor to be designated as a
smoking floor, all residents must agree and approval
must be sought from and granted by the Director of
Residence Life. Residents also may smoke in lounges
that are designated as smoking lounges.
Q. How are residence halls supervised?
A. Each residence hall floor is supervised by a Resident
Advisor (RA), a full-time upper class student,
responsible for the smooth functioning of one or
more floors in a residence hall. In addition to
handling many administrative tasks such as opening
and closing the halls, check-in and checkout,
maintenance reports, etc., the RA is there to help
residents as individuals and as members of the floor
community. RAs go through an extensive training
process and are good resources if your student has
any questions, problems, or concerns.
The STudent Academic Resource (STAR) serves as
an academic resource and facilitator in our first year
residence halls. S/he is responsible for insuring
programming on academic topics, providing students
with information and referral services, and fostering a
strong connection for students with their academic
pursuits. STARs are full-time students, participate in
detailed training, and are valuable resources
concerning the College and its services.
Student Life Coordinators are professional staff
members responsible for supervision of the
paraprofessional staff and overseeing the
development of strong residence hall communities for
several residence halls. The Student Life
Coordinators also assume leadership responsibility
for several functions within Residence Life and
assume responsibility for a collateral assignment in
such areas as Career Development, Student
Discipline, and our FYRST program for freshmen
residents.
34
Q. Are their curfews in the residence halls?
A. Students are free to come and go within their
assigned residence hall without a curfew or “bed
check”.
Q. Can students invite non-college guests to stay with
them in the residence halls?
A. Family and friends are welcome to visit students with
some reasonable stipulations. First, the hosting
students must register all non-student guests with
the Office of
Safety and
Security in case
of emergency.
Also, students
are accountable
for the actions
of their guests
at all times,
which means
that the student
should inform guests of College and residence hall
policies. Guests (student and non-student) are
permitted with approval of all room/apartment
occupants. Overnight guests are permitted for no
longer than three nights in a seven night period.
Having overnight guests during the week is
discouraged to help provide a study environment.
Cohabitation (an individual not assigned to a room/
apartment, yet living there beyond guest guidelines)
is not permitted.
Students have the right to deny their roommate
permission to have a guest (student or non-student,
for a few hours or overnight). No student has the
right to impose a guest or visitor on his or her
roommate without the roommate’s specific
permission. If you believe there are roommate
difficulties in this particular area, please refer your
student to their Resident Advisor or Student Life
Coordinator.
Q. Does the College provide summer storage?
A. Unfortunately, the College is not able to provide
storage services at any time of the year. There are
several local storage companies available and many
students will pitch in and share rental space for the
summer.
Q. What laundry facilities are available in the
residence halls?
A. There is a laundry room in each residence hall that
includes washers and dryers. The number of
machines varies by the size of the hall, but there is,
on average, one washer and one dryer for every 30
residents. Per load, it is $1.00 to wash and $0.75 to
dry.
Q. Are residence hall rooms cleaned by the College?
A. Housekeeping staff cleans the public areas and
bathrooms of all residence halls, both community
bathrooms and connecting bathrooms in suite-style
halls. College apartment residents are responsible for
cleaning their bathrooms. Students are responsible
for cleaning their own rooms and emptying trash into
public area containers. Vacuum cleaners are available
to students through the residence hall staff.
Q. Will residence halls be closed during all holidays?
A. The residence halls close four times each year:
Thanksgiving break, winter break, spring break, and
at the conclusion of the spring semester. We realize
that there are often personal and work circumstances
that make it difficult to leave in accordance with our
schedule.
Students may request permission to
stay late, to remain for several days of
the break or for the entire break by
contacting the Residence Life Office.
There are several groups that must
remain for some breaks (ie, athletic
teams, tour choir, student teachers) and
we work closely with these group
sponsors/advisors to provide break
housing for their students. Additional
information can be found on the Office
of Residence Life website serveral
weeks prior to each break.
Q. Are pets allowed in residence halls?
A. Students may have fish in tanks or fish bowls in their
rooms. There is no size limit to the tank, but students
are limited to one tank per room.
Q. Are residence halls air-conditioned?
A. Unfortunately, none of our residence halls are airconditioned. There are a few weeks at the beginning
and end of the academic year when the weather is
warm and we do recommend that students bring a fan
with them. Students with documented medical issues
may request permission for an air conditioner.
Students should contact the Residence Life Office
immediately to initiate the approval process as it
involves documentation from the student’s physician
and a review by College staff.
Q. Are there kitchen facilities in the residence halls?
A. Yes, all of our residence halls include a kitchen with a
stove and sink. Students are permitted to have one
compact refrigerator per room (the maximum size is
200 watts or 1.1 amps, no larger than 1.7 cubic feet.)
One small microwave (no larger than 1.0 cubic feet or
less than 1050 kilowatts) is permitted per room.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Q. Do students need a vehicle at Lycoming?
A. No. Many students bring cars to campus. A ride is
not hard to find. Williamsport City Bus also provides
Lycoming students a free bus service that has stops
on campus and covers the local area and mall.
Q. Are students required to register their cars?
A. Everyone who brings a car to campus must register
it. Student registration is $60 a year provided the
vehicle is registered by July 1. A late fee of $120 is
charged to returning students if they register after
July 1st of the academic year. Freshman and newly
admitted students have two weeks to register their
vehicle at the $60 annual fee. After two weeks the
vehicle registration fee becomes $120.
Temporary registration is free for up to
two weeks per academic year. Obtaining a
parking decal does not guarantee a
parking space. Complete motor vehicle
regulations are available on the internet at
http://www.lycoming.edu/stuaff/handbook/motorvehicleregs.htm
Q. Are there specific parking
regulations on campus?
A. Yes. Students must park in their
appropriate lots between 7:30 a.m. and 5
p.m. After 5 they can park in Staff lots.
All parking areas, except handicap spaces,
may be used temporarily for up to 15
minutes as long as the four-way/emergency flashers
are used.
Q. What security precautions are in effect in the
residence halls?
A. Residence hall outside doors are locked each
evening. Four Resident Advisors are on-duty each
night of the academic year, making rounds through
the halls, addressing safety issues, and helping
community members maintain an appropriate
environment. Patrol Officers also walk through the
halls and provide support to the RAs as needed.
Finally, professional staff from the Division of
Student Affairs are on call and provide a final layer of
support for unusual situations that may arise.
Q. Do thefts occur in the residence halls?
A. Unfortunately, there are some thefts in the residence
halls each year. Most thefts occur when students fail
to lock their rooms or when belongings are
unattended. All thefts should be reported to the
Office of Safety & Security immediately, no matter
how minor. An Officer will write an incident report
documenting the theft and this will allow the student
to proceed with an insurance claim.
35
Q. What fire safety measures does the College provide
in the residence halls?
A. We take fire safety very seriously at Lycoming. Each
residence hall room includes a smoke detector that is
inspected and cleaned on a regular schedule. In
accordance with local and national fire codes, fire
extinguishers and smoke detectors are provided in
public areas and are regularly inspected and serviced.
Staff from the Department of Safety and Security
conducts a supervised fire drill each fall semester.
We also fully evacuate residence halls when the
alarm sounds, regardless of time or weather. Patrol
Officers enter each room to quickly determine if the
room has been vacated and we address failing to
leave (or returning to the hall early) through the
disciplinary process.
Q. How safe is it for my son or daughter to walk on
campus at night?
A. Campus is as safe as students make it! Many
students feel too safe on campus and take
unnecessary risks. We conduct lighting surveys,
offer an escort program, and recommend students
walk in-groups.
Q. What crime occurs on campus?
A. All types of crimes can and do happen on a college
campus. We ask that students work with us to be
partners in there safety. The most popular crimes
that occur are alcohol-related crimes and crimes of
convenience. Responsible alcohol use by those of
legal age combined with locking doors and not
leaving personal property unattended could greatly
reduce crime on campus.
Q. How large is the Safety and Security Department?
A. There is a Director of Safety and Security, nine fulltime officers, four part time officers, and a full-time
communications/secretary. There are also 12
students who
work patrol,
communications,
and special
events. For
larger special
events
contract
security
officers supplement our security.
Q. How are Security Officers trained and do they
carry guns?
A. Security Officers receive a variety of training that
includes patrol procedures, crime prevention, first
aid/CPR/AED, self-defense and crime reporting.
Campus Security Officers are not sworn police and
do not carry firearms.
36
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Q. What types of social activities are available during
the week and on weekends?
A. Activities such as dances, movies, comedians,
karaoke, special events (casino nights, bingo nights,
formal dances), trips, and concerts all provide
opportunities for socializing at Lycoming. Many
student
organizations
and College
departments
sponsor a
variety of
events for
the campus
community.
Students can
always find
out what is
happening
on campus by reading: The Lycourier, the student
newspaper; This Week at Lycoming; the weekly email
of events, the monthly calendar, and the many
posters and banners throughout campus. One of
Lycoming’s popular spots is Jack’s Corner located in
the Wertz Student Center. Jack’s provides a relaxed
atmosphere with food and beverages. Jack’s is open
each evening 5:00pm-1:00am, and on weekends
9:30pm-12:30am.
Q. What types of cultural events are held
on campus?
A. There are a wide variety of cultural events held on
campus each semester. Band and Choir concerts,
Theatre productions, exhibits in the Art Gallery,
poetry readings, films, and guest lecturers are just a
few examples of this type of event. A number of
student organizations and departments on campus
also sponsor a wide variety of events.
Q. Should my student join a student club/organization
their first semester?
A. Yes! During the first semester, it can be difficult to
adjust to college’s academic schedule and
responsibilities that are different than their high
school responsibility. But it is important to also get
involved! Involvement in life outside the classroom
is important to becoming part of the Lycoming
College community. There are over 70 clubs and
organizations on campus, which range from academic
clubs, social clubs, service clubs, and athletic clubs.
Involvement helps to create a well-rounded student.
Participation also creates strong friendships and
attainment of life long skills.
Q. Will involvement in clubs and organizations distract
students from their academic work?
A. Yes and No. Yes, sometimes students become overly
involved, and they may find that they are unable to
set aside appropriate amounts of time for homework
and studying. It is important that the first year
student makes sure to only take on as much as they
can handle. It is okay to drop out of a club. If
students are able to manage their time appropriately,
then the answer is no, clubs and organizations will
not distract from their academic work. Involvement in
clubs and organizations can help students better
utilize time. All clubs and organizations also help to
enhance the classroom experience; some clear-cut
examples are a Criminal Justice major joining the
Criminal Justice Society, or a Communication Major
joining the radio station. Clubs and organizations
also offer some challenging experiences that help to
