Academic Year
The College’s academic year is comprised of three,
fifteen-week terms, beginning in September, January and May. A student who is
matriculated[1] in a program and
registers for 12 or more credits per term is considered full-time. It normally
takes a full-time student six terms to complete an associate degree program, and
3 terms to complete a certificate program. A student who is matriculated and
registers for 6 to 11 credits per term is considered half-time; less then 6
credits per term is considered part-time.
Each term typically begins on:
- Fall Term: 2nd Monday in September
- Spring Term: 2nd Monday in January
- Summer Term: 2nd Monday in May
Advising
Degree or Certificate programs at Lebanon College may be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. An advisor assists each matriculated student with educational decisions, providing a smooth transition into a program. Students are encouraged to seek advice from their assigned advisors, their professors, and the Deans' Office.
Attendance
The College expects students to attend all classes. Students who are not part of
an academic program at the college need to follow the requirements for attendance as determined by the individual instructor and stated in the course syllabus.
Credit Hour
A credit hour is defined as the following:
- 1 lecture credit hour is equivalent to 15 contact hours
- 1 lab credit hour is equivalent to 30 contact hours
- 1 internship credit hour is equivalent to 45 contact hours
Course Levels & Numbering
- 000 series numbers – non-credit or special interests
- 100 - 300 series numbers – are based on content and level of course difficulty (may not reflect a gradual progression in coursework)
- 400 series numbers – advanced topics
Auditing Courses
There is no credit awarded for audited courses, and
these courses do not count toward graduation or
other requirements. Tuition is eighty percent of
credit courses. Audited courses may not be repeated
for credit but may be used as a refresher for
students. Faculty permission is required to audit a
course, and the form is available from the
Registrar’s office.

Class Cancellations
If a class is cancelled for any reason, the
instructor or College administration will contact
students by phone or email (please make sure your
contact information on file is correct).
In the case of adverse weather, the student
should use his or her own best judgment concerning
driving conditions. Notice of cancellation is also
available by calling the College and local radio
stations.
Graduation
Lebanon
College holds its graduation
ceremony the first Saturday in June. A student with
enough credit hours to graduate will receive a “Petition
to Graduate” form from the Registrar’s Office. This form
must be completed and submitted to your advisor and the
Academic Dean prior to April 30th of the graduation year
along with the appropriate fee. All other
responsibilities, including tuition and academic fees
must be successfully completed before a student can
graduate. A
student who has two or fewer courses remaining to
complete a program and is registered for the Summer
Term, can still participate in the graduation ceremony.
In order to graduate from a program, the student
must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0, and at least a 2.0 in
each major core course.
