The general regulations and policies stated in this catalog are in effect for the 1997-98 academic year. Freshmen beginning their first terms at Lycoming College in the fall of 1997 or the spring of 1998 are thereafter governed by the policies stated in this catalog.

If changes are made in subsequent editions of the catalog to either general requirements or major requirements, students have the option of following their original program or a subsequent catalog version, but the College always reserves the right to determine which requirements apply.

If a student interrupts his or her education but returns to the College after no more than one academic year has passed, he/she will retain the same requirements in effect at the initial date of entrance. A student who withdraws from the College for more than one year will, upon return, be required to complete the requirements currently imposed upon other students of the same academic level. A student who transfers to the College with advanced standing will be subject to the requirements imposed upon other students at the College who have attained the same academic level. Post-baccalaureate students will be subject to the requirements stated on page 32.

Lycoming College reserves the right to amend or change the policies and procedures stated in this catalog without prior notice to those who may be affected by them. The provisions of this publication are not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the applicant and/or the student and Lycoming College.
