Seniors are exempted from the Lyceum requirement during their final semester; however, all accumulated deficiencies must be satisfied by mid-term of that semester. Students who extend their program beyond four years are not required to attend more than thirty-five Lyceum events.

Part-time students enrolled in eleven or fewer semester hours in a semester are required to attend one event for each course in which they are enrolled for credit that semester. Students who are enrolled in student teaching will be required to attend two events during that particular semester. Students who successfully complete a Study Abroad semester with earned credits will be awarded credit for five Lyceum events.

Appeals for Alternative Requirements. Commuter students and part-time students who encounter extreme problems with commuting or other unforeseen circumstances may appeal to the Lyceum Committee for a special hearing if they wish to request some alternative way of satisfying part of the Lyceum requirement in a particular semester. Students who anticipate student teaching or internships which will require them to do extensive work away from the college may make a written appeal to the Lyceum Committee for an alternative requirement. All appeals should be made within the first two weeks of the semester.

Deficits. Any student with a deficit of five or more absences at the end of a semester will receive a Lyceum Warning. This warning will be reported with the grades at the end of the term, and a letter explaining the implications of this warning will be sent to the student and to the student’s advisor. Any student with a deficit of eight or more absences at the end of a semester will be placed on Lyceum Probation. Seniors with deficiencies not cleared in the final semester will not have met the Lyceum requirement for graduation. Any appeal of a penalty for Lyceum deficiencies should be addressed in writing to the Academic Standards Committee.
