Student Handbook 2009 - 2011

The Lehigh University Student Handbook is issued by the Dean of Students Office and is published by Lehigh University as the University's official notification of services, and regulations that concern student life at Lehigh. Lehigh makes every effort to provide accurate, current, and comprehensive information in this Handbook. Students are subject to the rules and regulations contained in the Handbook, but the University reserves the right to change at any time the rules governing admission, tuition, fees, courses, the granting of degrees, or any other regulations affecting its students.

 

Alcohol and Other Drug Programs/Counseling

The University Counseling & Psychological Services (UCPS) offers comprehensive and integrated Alcohol, Drug, and Other Addiction (AODA) services to students in the University community.  The mission of the AODA office is to create a low-risk environment by supporting change in the campus and community culture by educating and empowering students.   Recognizing that students sometimes find themselves or friends drinking too much, using illegal drugs, or engaging in risky behavior, the UCPS has developed services for the purpose of helping students with their concerns in these areas.  Such services may include confidential individual or group counseling, education and intervention programs, or consultation regarding concerns about others.  In addition, outside referrals to alcohol, drug, and other addiction programs and resources can be provided through consultation with UCPS staff. To schedule an appointment with an AODA staff member, call (610)758-3880 or stop by the counseling center on the 4th Floor of Johnson Hall.

Career Services

One function of a college education is to foster your growth and development in preparation for a meaningful and satisfying life after college. Since developing one's career potential is an integral part of this process, Lehigh provides assistance with career development for you throughout your entire educational career.
Career planning can best be described as an educational process through which you: (1) identify and develop your abilities, aptitudes and interests; (2) research occupational opportunities related to your capabilities, interests, classroom and real-world experiences, and (3) prepare for those opportunities by developing necessary job-searching skills.

Career Services will assist you to:
1. Identify the skills, abilities, and attitudes that have value to employers, and to think in terms of functional responsibilities rather than merely linking your major subjects to jobs.
2. Acquire and develop the skills necessary to become a self-reliant and informed decision-maker.
3. Position yourself to be able to select a major and occupational area that best fits you.
4. Prepare for a competitive job market, teaching you the job searching skills to help you manage your own career.
The Office of Career Services is committed to the preparation and education of Lehigh students during the transition from the academic environment to the work place. Career Services offers the following resources and services to help you prepare for professional opportunities after graduation.

Career Counseling. First-year, sophomore, junior, senior and graduate students may meet with members of the staff to discuss their choice of a major, career options and goals, individual job-search strategies, effective interviewing, resume writing, and related interests.

The Center for Academic Success

The Center for Academic Success is a component of Academic Support Services that offers free peer tutoring and study skills assistance to Lehigh undergraduates. The Center provides group tutoring on a regular weekly basis in several introductory and 100-level courses in Math, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Economics and Business. Students attending group tutoring sessions benefit from both a knowldegable tutor and the opportunity for discussion and collaboration with their peers in the group.
In addition to tutoring, the Center also provides one-on-one study skills assistance and conducts study skills workshops for a variety of student groups and organizations. We assist students with general study strategies, learning styles, time management, test preparation, test-taking strategies, note taking, textbook reading, academic goal setting, memory and concentration, and more. In addition, a number of study skills tips sheets and other study skills resources and links are available on our website.
The Center is located on the fourth floor of the University Center and is open fall and spring semesters. Study skills assistance can be requested at any time, and tutors can be requested in the Center the second through the twelfth weeks of each semester.

The Writing and Math Center

The Writing and Math Center, located in 110 Drown Hall, offers free individual tutoring to all members of the Lehigh University community, from first-year students to graduate students and faculty members. The tutors, who are all experienced teachers, work in writing and mathematics.
The Center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. It will be open during some evenings and weekend hours for tutoring in writing. For specific times, keep an eye out for posters and ads on campus or call Ext. 83098.
Each year, almost half of the first-year students and many upperclass and graduate students take advantage of the services at the center.

Computing Services (Library and Technology Services)

Library and Technology Services provides computing services to all University departments and research centers, serving the needs of students, faculty, and administrative users. More than six hundred computers (primarily IBM-compatible and some Apple personal computers) are distributed across campus for convenient use by Lehigh students at some 23 computing sites. For example, there are about one hundred computers in the libraries and computing center, and another hundred in Rauch Business Center. A twenty-four hour site at Grace Hall has 30 machines. There are also portable laptops equipped with wireless network cards available for short-term loan to students at Linderman Library, Fairchild-Martindale Library at the Circulation Desk and in the Media Center.
      The central computing site and most distributed computing facilities are open seven days per week and for extensive evening hours during the fall and spring semesters. Central site hours are recorded on (610)758-2828 and on the Library and Technology Services home page. Help with computing resources and services, as well as print and virtual library resources and services, is available at (610)758-4357 (HELP) or in the main lobby of the Fairchild-Martindale Library during most hours that the Library is open. Help desk staff refers difficult or more specialized questions to experts as needed.
      Local and wide area networking solutions are in place to give students and faculty access to site-licensed software applications and central file space from the campus sites or their residence facility. Each full-time student receives access to an enhanced Microsoft software package for his or her own computer. In addition, LTS provides other software at public sites such as desktop publishing and graphics software, programming languages, mathematical and statistical packages, and specialized applications for engineering, scientific publishing and creative writing.
      The Fairchild-Martindale Computing Center houses a network of high-performance computers, configured as a centralized network service cluster. A separate powerful machine serves as a scientific "compute server" to support computer-intensive applications such as programming and statistical software. UNIX-based workstations and a Beowulf cluster are available for research applications. For computer printing at distributed sites, a network of PostScript laser printers is provided. Large printing jobs should be routed electronically to the laser printer at the central site. Students are strongly encouraged to be kind to the environment and to save paper by printing only what they need.
      Students may also take advantage of "virtual" help desks where they enter the questions or problems relating to library research, computing hardware or software, or telecommunications at any hour of the day or night for response at a later time. Most library and computing services are available electronically “Live chat” library reference and computing help services are also available during many hours. Each semester Library and Technology Services' Client Services Group offers an extensive program of seminars and course-based instructional sessions for students. Attendees learn to use software applications, the extensive print and electronic library resources, and to evaluate Web sites critically for academic use. Student assistants are essential for the operation of most LTS services. Working for LTS, students gain valuable skills and good work habits. At the job fair held each fall, there are opportunities to learn in-depth about the jobs available.

Copying Machines

Counseling and Psychological Services

          The University’s Counseling and Psychological Services (UCPS), located on the top floor in Johnson Hall, offers a wide variety of services, usually free of charge, related to the personal, interpersonal, and psychological development and concerns of undergraduate and graduate students. Psychologists and therapists in training interact with students in various settings, including the traditional ones in which counseling and psychotherapy take place, as well as around the campus in classrooms, athletic fields, and living residences.
          Within the center, students often are seen individually for a session or two, lasting approximately one hour, to determine their needs, interests, or concerns. Questions may be resolved in a few meetings, or a decision may be made to continue working on and exploring particular issues in more depth. Whereas some student concerns will be met best within a one-to-one relationship, general or specific therapy groups are often the modality of choice since many student problems and interests are interpersonal in nature. Referrals to outside professionals or agencies are made when appropriate.
          Around campus, UCPS psychologists are available to present lectures, workshops, training sessions, or lead discussion groups on a wide variety of topics relevant to the life and development of students. Professors, coaches, gryphons, fraternity and sorority leaders, and special interest group leaders often make requests for UCPS involvement in their programs. The UCPS staff also advertises programs that are directly sponsored by the center.
Psychology is the study of the mind and behavior, and as such, psychologists in the LU counseling service are trained to address a wide range of topics pertinent to the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of University students. Whether in a staff member's office or in settings around campus, students talk with psychologists about numerous things:

  life stress
  studying social life
  substance use athletic performance
  anxiety on exams loneliness
  anxiety in general depression
  eating habits parents
  self-image and identity Lehigh
  motivation death

      The list is theoretically endless, because the topics concern matters of life, growth, and development. Regardless of the topic, UCPS staff members see their role as one in which they listen carefully and guide with sensitivity. Appointments to consult with or see a staff member are easy to make by calling the UCPS office at (610)758-3880 or stopping at the reception desk during work hours, Monday through Friday.
          Within the office, all meetings with psychologists are strictly confidential in order to respect the need of individuals to explore issues in-depth without fear of reprisal. Unless a student is perceived as imminently dangerous to self or others, no information about the student is reported to anyone, unless the student permits it by signing a release of information form.
UCPS psychologists are available for emergencies during after-work hours and weekends, and may be accessed by calling the Lehigh dispatcher (84200) and asking to speak to the psychologist “on call”.

 

Counseling on Sexuality and Related Health Issues.
          The University and the Bethlehem area provide various sources of counseling for problems in sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases. The Health Service, UCPS and Chaplain's Office all have information, written materials, and time to answer questions about these subjects. Among the local resources available for consultation is a Planned Parenthood office located just off campus at 440 Brodhead Avenue. It is open Monday, (1 to 7 p.m.), Wednesday (1 to 9 p.m.), and Friday (12 to 4 p.m.). Phone (610)694‑0642 during office hours for an appointment. Other offices are in Allentown, 112 N. 13th Street (610)439‑1033 and Easton, 275 21st Street (610)253‑7195. Also available is a VD clinic at St. Luke's Hospital on Friday afternoons, and Birthright (610)432‑2222.
The University regards pregnancy as a medical situation requiring professional attention. A student who is pregnant is urged to notify the Health Service of her physical condition. Withdrawal from residence or the University because of pregnancy will be handled in the same manner as other medical withdrawals.

Counseling on Marriage. Counseling for students with questions regarding marriage is coordinated through the Chaplain's Office, located in Johnson Hall. Chaplain Lloyd Steffen is available for discussion and counsel, and will provide information on Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant clergy who work with Lehigh students.

Disability Services

Lehigh University is committed to equal access and ensuring “reasonable accommodations” to students who are substantially limited by a diagnosed disability.  Lehigh students with physical and /or learning disabilities have met the same competitive requirements for admission as all other Lehigh students.  Students may request support services in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act of 2008.
It is the responsibility of students with disabilities to identify themselves to the appropriate university contact person and provide the required documentation in order to receive accommodations.  Given the specific nature of each person’s disability, “reasonable accommodations” will be determined on an individual basis by the documentation review committee.
Students with physical disabilities who are requesting assistance with non-academic concerns such as mobility assistance, access to buildings, architectural barriers, and transportation (omit around campus, etc) should contact Susan Lantz, Associate Dean of Students ( phone : 610-758-4159;  University Center, Room 210).
Students with learning disabilities,  attention deficit disorder, or other neurological-based disorders, and students requesting assistance with academic concerns/accommodations should contact Cheryl Ashcroft, Assistant Dean  of Students (phone: 610-758-4152; University Center, Room 212).

Employment

The Office of Financial Aid, located in Barnett House (218 W. Packer Avenue) is responsible for two student employment programs: the Federal Work-Study Program, made up of a federal contribution and matching funds from the University; and the Work Opportunity Award program solely funded by Lehigh. Assignments under both programs are based on a determination of financial aid eligibility. There is another program, not based on "need," called the Job Locator Development, which is coordinated through the Office of Career Services and Corporate Relations. JLD, as it is called, is designed to identify employment opportunities off-campus. Included in these offerings are positions in some of the Ben Franklin Center "incubator" companies located on the Mountaintop Campus.

 

Financial Aid

          The mission of the Office of Financial Aid is to reduce the financial barriers to a Lehigh education for those families whose resources alone would make it impossible to meet the cost of attendance. Financial Aid is designed to supplement the family’s best effort at paying for college.  Our aid program is designed to measure the difference between our costs and the amount of money your family can be expected to contribute to those costs.  Complete information is available on our web site: www.lehigh.edu/financialaid.

          The Office of Financial Aid (OFA) is responsible for the awarding and disbursement of institutional, federal, state and private scholarships, loans and student employment. The OFA is responsible for establishing institutional policy and for interpreting and implementing federal and state student aid rules and regulations. The oversight group for the OFA is the Committee on Undergraduate Financial Aid.
          The majority of financial aid awarded is based on financial need as determined by the OFA. Student eligibility is determined utilizing both the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Profile form, together with copies of federal tax returns. In some instances additional forms, such as the Business/Farm Supplement or Non-Custodial Parent Statement are used. In addition to demonstrating financial need, students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Performance. Financial aid is awarded annually, based on the family’s most current financial situation. Renewal applications for continuing students are due around April 15th. Filing after the deadline may put aid recipients at risk of not being funded. Additional information on filing may be found on the FAO website www.lehigh.edu/financialaid.
       
  If a family’s financial circumstances should change during the year you are encouraged to contact the FAO to review your situation. We will make every effort to assist based on the availability of funds.
Academic Requirements and Appeal Process. Different rules apply to different funding sources. Funding through institutionally funded grants and scholarships requires that students pass and complete a minimum of 12 new credits per semester while maintaining a minimum grade point average of at least a 2.0 and remaining in good academic standing. At the same time, students must advance in grade level for their specific program. Students who do not meet the minimum requirements may petition the Financial Aid Committee by submitting an appeal together with two faculty statements.
         
          A student placed on Disciplinary Probation may, at the discretion of the Committee on Undergraduate Financial Aid, be allowed to retain his or her aid for that academic year. Renewal of aid will take into consideration that student’s behavior during the probationary period.

Motor Vehicle Restrictions. As a general rule, the University does not permit freshmen to have access to a motor vehicle on a regular basis unless required for a daily commute from the parents' home. The Committee on Undergraduate Financial Aid will not restrict the use of motor vehicles by financial aid recipients; however, it does reserve the right to reinstate the previous motor vehicle policy if it appears there are substantive abuses. There is an inherent contradiction when a student, with financial need, has the additional resources to maintain (and properly insure) a late model or expensive vehicle.

Emergency Loans. Emergency loans, of up to $500, may be made available to full time students during enrollment periods as loan funds are available and as the Bursar's records show no poor payment history. Normally, repayment is expected within two to four weeks unless repayment is being covered by a student loan or payroll deduction. Emergency loans are not an entitlement and are subject to the approval of the Bursar.

Aid from Sources Outside the University. You are required to notify the Office of Financial Aid if you receive any private scholarship or loan (not including state grants and governmental loans). The same applies to any special benefits such as Veterans, Vocational Rehabilitation, Social Security, etc. Such awards or benefits are considered "financial aid resources" and must be taken into consideration to avoid an over-award situation that would possibly require repayment of financial aid funds. Information about the University's award adjustment policy is found in the enclosure to the award notification.

Delay in Payment. The Bursar will accept "waivers" for certain types of anticipated financial aid such as government loans. The billing statement provides an opportunity to report such resources. This is extended as a courtesy, but is not an entitlement and does not remove responsibility from the family should the funding not be received. In the instance of using the waiver for an anticipated Federal Stafford loan, a late fee may be assessed if you neglect to complete the application process.

Library Services (Library and Technology Services)

Lehigh University has two major facilities, the Linderman Library and the Fairchild-Martindale Library. The Lehigh University library collection comprises over one million volumes and subscriptions to some 25,000 periodicals, many of them in electronic format.

Fairchild-Martindale is open 24 hours during exam periods.
In March 2007 the historic Linderman Library with its magnificent reading room and signature stained glass skylight reopened after an extensive renovation. Among the many new features are: four seminar rooms, a computer classroom, a large quiet study space, five group studies, a café, and wireless throughout. Linderman houses books and journals in the humanities and Lehigh’s impressive collection of rare books and special collections. The Fairchild-Martindale Library contains books, journals, newspapers, audio-visual resources, and microform collections in all branches of science, engineering, mathematics, and the social sciences, including business and education. It provides collaborative learning spaces, wireless connectivity, and comfortable lounge areas. As a government depository, the Fairchild-Martindale Library holds more than 220,000 printed federal and Pennsylvania documents, as well as additional collections on microform.
                The “My Library” tab on the campus portal offers students, faculty, and staff a full range of electronic indexes, reference works, full text databases, and image databases customized for their disciplines. EZProxy software facilitates off campus access to these resources. Lehigh's online catalog (named ASA after Lehigh founder Asa Packer) provides direct links to electronic journals and web resources. Personalized interlibrary loan software (“Illiad”) allows for easy borrowing from collections in other libraries throughout Pennsylvania and around the world.
                Help with print and virtual library resources and services, as well as computing resources and services, is available at (610)758-4357 (HELP) or in the main lobby of the Fairchild-Martindale Library during most hours that the Library is open. Help desk staff refer specialized questions to experts as needed. Students may also take advantage of "virtual" help desks where they enter the questions or problems relating to library research at any hour of the day or night for response at a later time, usually within one working day. Most library and computing services are available electronically; for example, requests for books to be recalled, film rental requests, frequently asked question (FAQ) files, and seminar registrations.
                Each semester Library and Technology Services' Client Services Group offers an extensive program of seminars and course-based instructional sessions for students. Attendees learn to use software applications, the extensive print and electronic library resources, and to evaluate Web sites critically for academic use. Student assistants are essential for the operation of most LTS services. Working for LTS, students gain valuable skills and good work habits. At the job fair held each fall there is opportunities to learn in-depth about the jobs available.

Study Abroad

"Complex global interactions, once reserved for the diplomatic corps, are today the stuff of everyday business deals and cultural exchanges. If we expect students to navigate international waters, we need to give them an international education that meets the highest standards..."  Rod Paige, Former U.S. Secretary of Education
          In educating students for future leadership, Lehigh prepares them to live and work effectively in a global climate. Lehigh recommends international study, and carefully screens and supports programs that offer rigorous academic environments, immersion in host cultures, and opportunities for personal growth.
          Students of every discipline benefit from learning about their major from an international perspective. The nature of the skills, knowledge, and experience acquired while studying abroad will affect the quality of their lives and career prospects in important ways. As is true about acquiring any expertise, building international competence is an incremental process that continues throughout life in virtually every career imaginable.
          In preparing for international study, students are guided through the process of setting academic, professional, and personal goals, and receive advising on which programs will best fit with these goals. Students engaged in highly sequential programs of study are advised to begin the planning process early in their academic career. Participation in a study abroad program is treated similarly to a semester or year at Lehigh: students are fully registered at Lehigh and receive Lehigh credit and course titles on their Lehigh transcript for the coursework successfully completed abroad.          
          Additionally, Lehigh runs numerous short-term programs during the winter break (3 weeks) and during the summer (4-6 weeks), many of which often offer field work and internships. Lehigh students may also reenroll in summer language programs offered through the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges (LVAIC).
          The Study Abroad Faculty Policy Board sets the standards and policies for study abroad. The GPA requirement for semester or yearlong study abroad is a 3.0 (cumulative), or a 3.0 (cumulative average) during the two regular semesters prior to submitting an application. The requirement for participation in short-term programs is good academic standing. In order to receive credit for any coursework done abroad, students must apply through and be approved by the Study Abroad Office, and get all courses approved by the appropriate Lehigh academic department chair.                     
          Because students receive Lehigh course credit on their transcript, students who study abroad for fall and/or spring term(s) will pay regular Lehigh tuition regardless of the tuition rate of the host program. Students are additionally responsible for room and board, airfare, and personal expenses. Financial aid is available to eligible students, as determined by the Financial Aid Office. Travel grants, which vary in amount, are available for some programs, and may be obtained through the Study Abroad Office. Further procedural information is available on the Study Abroad website, as well as in the Study Abroad Handbook (available on the website).
          The Study Abroad Office can be reached at 610-758-3351 or via email at studyabroad@lehigh.edu
