University ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Lincoln University uses the class method of teaching, which assumes that each student has something to contribute and something to gain by attending class.
It further assumes that there is much more instruction absorbed in the classroom than can be tested on examinations.
Therefore, students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled class meetings and should exhibit good faith in this regard.

UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC INTEGRITY STATEMENT:
Students are responsible for proper conduct and integrity in all of their scholastic work.
They must follow a professor's instructions when completing tests, homework, and laboratory reports, and must ask for clarification if the instructions are not clear.
In general, students should not give or receive aid when taking exams, or exceed the time limitations specified by the professor.
In seeking the truth, in learning to think critically, and in preparing for a life of constructive service, honesty is imperative.
Honesty in the classroom and in the preparation of papers is therefore expected of all students.
Each student has the responsibility to submit work that is uniquely his or her own.
All of this work must be done in accordance with established principles of academic integrity.
