Academic success for each of our students is the goal of every member of the Lycoming College faculty. For that reason if a student experiences difficulties in one of his/her classes, he/she should immediately contact one of his/her professors for guidance. The professor is always the best person to evaluate a student’s performance and to contact for advice pertaining to methods for improving that performance. The student’s academic advisor is also a valuable resource, since the advisor is able to evaluate the student’s comprehensive performance throughout both the semester and the student’s tenure at Lycoming. 

All freshmen are assessed by their professors six weeks into each semester.  Parents of dependent children with a FERPA form on file, academic advisors, coaches and the Assistant Dean for Freshmen will each receive a copy of these assessments. The purpose of these assessments is to alert the student to the need for improvement and to give the student ample opportunity and time to do so. Advisors and the Freshman Dean make use of these assessments to connect students with tutors and study groups.

Each designated freshman hall includes a STAR (STudent Academic Resource).  STARs provide information and referral services, and offer workshops on study skills, time management, and similar topics.
