     The Student Affairs staff view students as partners in the educational process and, therefore, expect that students will share responsibility for managing our educational community.

Career Development Center
     The Career Development Center provides services which are designed to help students identify their abilities and interests, set realistic goals, and plan academic programs to meet these goals. Counseling for Lycoming students begins in the freshman year.
     Individual and group counseling focus on teaching students how they can learn about different career fields and present themselves to potential employers in a positive and effective manner. Helping students make appropriate and meaningful connections between college and career is a goal of the Career Development Center. The CDC is located on the 3rd Floor of Wertz Student Center. www.lycoming.edu/cdc 

Counseling & Wellness Services
     Counseling Services assist students to ensure that their college experience is prosperous and rewarding. Professional, confidential services are provided at no direct charge to Lycoming students. Counseling Services are designed to facilitate one’s self-understanding as well as to provide support for students’ adjustment and transition to college life. Counseling Services also provide advocacy to individual students and student organizations, and they conduct outreach programs for the entire college community.

Health Services
     Lycoming College Health Services focuses on the holistic care of the individual, health maintenance, and wellness through health education and prevention of illness. Educational materials and instructional programs are available through the Student Health Services.
     Routine medical care is provided without charge on a daily basis Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters. The office is staffed by a full-time registered nurse with a physician available on a limited daily basis. 
     Health Services’ policies reflect the recommendations of the American College Health Association (ACHA), the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Community Service
     Community Service is an learning opportunity for students accomplished in conjunction with various agencies in the Williamsport area or college departments. This activity allows students to expand their knowledge about diverse individuals and communities. The outcome of such service promotes students' personal and social development as well as giving them an enhanced perspective of civic responsibility and social justice.
     The Community Service Center, located in Asbury Hall, coordinates many service opportunities available to students, faculty, and staff in the greater Williamsport area. A number of the community service projects include Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, the Literacy Project, a school tutoring program, Best Buddies, Adopt-A-Highway, Bloodmobile, Shepherd of the Streets, and the CROP Walk for World Hunger.

Residence Life
     As a residential college, Lycoming offers students the opportunity to integrate academic and residential experiences. The Residence Life Office is committed to providing a living/learning environment to help each resident grow as a person and as a student. 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. Married students, students residing with their parents within a 40 mile radius, students living with their dependents, and students 23 years or older may request to be exempted from this policy. 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. We do not provide housing for students who have dependent children living with them.
     Residence halls put students at the heart of College activity—offering greater opportunities for participation. Through programs, leadership opportunities, and peer interactions, residents gain a sense of belonging to the campus community, acquire new knowledge and skills, have easy access to College services, make informed choices, and assume responsibility for themselves and their community.
     The residence halls are staffed with upperclass students who serve as Resident Advisors (RAs) selected on the basis of leadership skills. RAs provide information, refer students to campus and local resources, help enforce College and community standards, use helping skills for students in need, and facilitate educational and social programs. Most importantly, RAs assist residents in the development and maintenance of strong, positive residence hall communities. With the guidance and support of Residence Life staff, each resident is expected to become involved in promoting a positive learning environment in his or her community.
     Several different living options are available for students in our eight residence halls. Freshmen are housed together in a co-educational environment encouraging students to develop class identity and unity. The six upperclass halls offer opportunities for co-educational housing, an all female hall, fraternity and sorority chapter housing, a substance free area, and smoking environments. College Apartments are available to sophomores, juniors and seniors who meet specific grade requirements and who are in good disciplinary standing with the College. Additional information is sent to students following their acceptance by the College.

Athletics
     Athletics is an important part of the Lycoming experience. As a member of the NCAA, Lycoming sponsors nineteen intercollegiate sports for both men and women student-athletes.
     Men can choose from football, soccer, cross country, wrestling, golf, basketball, lacrosse, swimming, tennis, and track and field. Women can compete in soccer, cross country, lacrosse, volleyball, basketball, swimming, softball, tennis, and track and field.
     Lycoming is a member of the Middle Atlantic Conference, which is a Division III athletic conference. As a Division III school, Lycoming does not offer athletic scholarships.
     In addition, the College offers a very active intramural and recreation program that is open to all students. This program includes, among others, basketball, water polo, volleyball, flag football, and indoor soccer.

Student Programs
     The Office of Student Programs offers assistance and resources for all campus activities and student organizations. Through the efforts of the student administered Campus Activities Board (CAB), extra-curricular programming is offered to the entire college community. CAB programming is designed to enhance the overall educational experience of students through the exposure to social, cultural, and recreational programs. Members of the staff in Student Activities also direct leadership training programs for the student government, the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils, the International Student Organization, the Arrow Yearbook, and all registered student organizations.

Religious Life
     The United Campus Ministry, staffed by a Protestant minister and a Roman Catholic lay minister, provides a wide range of activities in support of the spiritual development and religious life of students. Ecumenical and inclusive in nature, Campus Ministry at Lycoming provides worship services, service projects, social occasions, retreats, study opportunities, and personal counseling.
     The campus ministers are an integral part of campus life and are available to students who may need support, counsel, or direction.

Safety and Security
     The Department of Safety & Security strives to maintain an environment that is free of unnecessary hazards and disruptions. This responsibility includes the enforcement of Lycoming College rules, regulations, and policies. Security personnel are scheduled on an around-the-clock basis. An emergency telephone line is always monitored. Twenty-four hour a day telephone extensions are used to handle general security concerns.
     The department solicits the cooperation of the entire college community in reporting unsafe conditions and suspicious activity on the Lycoming College campus.
     Other services provided by the department are: First aid and ambulatory medical transportation, emergency maintenance referral, an escort service, guest and parking registration, and the dissemination of telephone numbers and general information to the public when the College switchboard is closed.

Standards of Conduct
     Lycoming College is committed to the creation and maintenance of a living-learning environment which fosters the intellectual, personal, social and ethical development of its students. Respect for the rights of others and self-discipline are essential to the fulfillment of these goals. Students are expected to adhere to the policies contained in the Student Handbook and other College publications. These policies, rules and regulations are part of the contractual agreement students enter into when they register at Lycoming College. 
      Students who demonstrate an unwillingness to abide by these policies will be subject to disciplinary action which may include suspension or expulsion from the College. Students are encouraged to review the Student Handbook and Housing License in order to familiarize themselves with the policies governing student conduct.
