The Office of Academic Services Deans helps remove barriers to academic success by providing tangible resources for successful matriculation, including accessibility resources for those with documented disabilities. Courses designed for first-year students to aid in the transition to college life help students adjust their learning habits in order to meet the higher expectations of college-level courses. Likewise, courses built for returning students teach new strategies to help master increasingly difficult coarse work. Individualized support, programming, and an increased commitment to inclusivity help Lycoming College deliver an innovative education.
Why Lycoming?
- Lycoming’s small size means that deans are able to pay one-on-one attention to students who need assistance.
- Deans are well-positioned to provide deeper assessments to uncover issues that might prevent students from becoming academically successful.
- Accessibility resources helps to provide direct support to all students with documented disabilities.
- A pre-semester scholarship-earning program provides select students with support for a smooth transition to higher education, including relational support and community building, as well as small student cohort groups, mentored by faculty members and upper-class peers.
- Credit-bearing courses designed for at-risk students help with the transition to higher education, as well as with the need to develop study patterns that will see them through to graduation and long-term personal success.
