Our residents are supported through the transition from secondary education to university study, and then in the important transition from university life to professional careers or, where chosen, from undergraduate to postgraduate study. The high level of engagement in the program contributes not only to exceptional academic results for our residents but also enhanced emotional intelligence, communication, and leadership skills: The Lincoln College academic program produces well-rounded independent learners and leaders.

During each study period, every resident is required to meet with both the Dean of Studies, and the Dean of Students to discuss their academic progress, career goals, and their overall health and well-being. The Scholarly and Wellbeing Check-In is a formal meeting, however, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and is designed to assist all students in their College endeavors. To get the most out of these meetings, residents are expected to speak candidly about their academic progress and well-being, as well as their feelings regarding life at College, their future studies, and future career plans.
The academic tutors are supported by the Lincoln College Dean of Studies and Academic Co-ordinator and who oversee and implement the academic program. And thank you to our curated academic program, our residents perform above the national average of university students.
It is expected that students experiencing difficulties with their courses talk to the Dean of Studies (Dr. Piper) in the first instance. The Dean’s door is always open, and she is available to discuss academic concerns at any time during the year. Our primary goal is to help you through your studies, we will do everything in our power to help you on the road to success.
