Housing availability on the main campus depends on demand and university policies.

Students who have been dismissed will receive a “Notice of Dismissal” from the Office of the Registrar. That notice will describe the procedures for appealing the dismissal. It is the student’s responsibility to keep abreast of their academic standing and to be proactive in any appeal process. All dismissals must be remedied and cleared for a student before a student is eligible to return.
For any questions regarding academic standing, please contact the Office of the Registrar by calling (484) 365-8087 or emailing registrar@lincoln.edu.
Yes, students may enroll in courses even if they are not meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). However, students who do not meet SAP are encouraged to submit an appeal for consideration of financial aid. To better understand the requirements for SAP and the appeal process, we recommend reviewing the detailed SAP guidelines and procedures available online.
For more information, contact the Office of Financial Aid by calling (484) 365-8082 or emailing financialaid@lincoln.edu.
Any academic appeals must be reviewed and approved to be considered for re-enrollment. If you have not yet submitted an academic appeal of dismissal, please ensure that you complete and submit the Academic Appeal of Dismissal form.
