Academic requirements and regulations of Lindsey Wilson College are published in this catalog, the Student Handbook, and in other College announcements. Throughout their period of enrollment at the College, students must know and observe the requirements of the curriculum in which they are enrolled as well as general academic and other regulations of the College.

New students are tested for proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics. After a review of test scores and other background data (ACT or SAT scores and high school records), they may be advised or required to register in prerequisite or developmental courses. (See Developmental & Skill-Building Courses.)

Academic Schedule

Lindsey Wilson offers programs on several different schedules:

• Columbia Campus Undergraduate Program offers day and online classes in a semester format.  Undergraduate programs operate on a semester system. The two full-length terms of the regular academic year are a fall semester and spring semester. Summer sessions are offered to provide convenient choices for students who wish to accelerate degree completion, or are enrolled in year around programs. A three-week, winter intersession is also offered, during which students may take up to three credit hours. Calendars are located on the last three pages of the catalog.
• Adults in Motion (AIM) Program is a career oriented program offered in the evenings that is structured for adults to earn a college degree while balancing their everyday demands. AIM courses are offered in an eight-week and a sixteen-week format and online. Bachelor's degrees are offered in Business Administration, Communication and Human Services and Counseling. AIM also offers general education courses for adult learners who want to major in another area. The AIM program is offered on the A.P. White Campus in Columbia, in Scottsville, and at the Somerset Community College Russell Center in Russell Springs.

• Graduate Programs operate on a trimester or year around system with most classes being taught in an evening or weekend schedule.
