The Lyceum Program is an Emory & Henry College academic requirement for graduation. Accordingly, you should view Lyceum events much as you would a class obligation.

Appropriate BehaviorYou must behave respectfully during any Lyceum

you attend. You are expected to be seated no less than five minutes before an event is scheduled to begin. Avoid extremely casual attire when attending Lyceum events—especially those held in the Chapel. Any faculty or staff member may dismiss you from a Lyceum event for any behavior that distracts you or others from full participation in the event, including sleeping, talking, reading, doing homework, texting, and generally any form of rude behavior. If you seek credit for an Artalk, you are expected also to view the 1912 Gallery exhibit to which the Artalk relates.

Documenting attendanceYou must have your ID card with you and present

it upon entering and leaving each on-campus event. (You are responsible for making sure that your ID card is properly bar-coded and for consulting campus security if recoding is needed.) If you arrive at an event late or leave it early, you will not receive credit for attendance. In the case of Barter plays and Arts Array films that are Lyceum-eligible (as indicated in this booklet), you must retain the ticket stub and present it to the CSA office for credit within a week of the event in question. No more than two credited events in any semester may be films, and no more than two may be Barter plays. You may not receive more than one credit for a multiple-performance event (e.g., a play), even if you attend several performances.

Calculating the requirementAs a student enrolled in an undergraduate degree

program at Emory & Henry, you are generally required to register attendance at five Lyceum events per semester, exclusive of summer school. If you extend your academic program beyond four years, you are not required to attend more than 35 Lyceums. If in a particular semester your enrollment falls below 12 credit hours (such that you are a part-time student), you are required to attend one event for each course in which you are enrolled that semester, up to five. If you are enrolled in student teaching, your Lyceum requirement for that semester is two events.

Lyceum Requirements

SeniorsIf you do not complete your Lyceum requirement,

you will not be awarded a degree, even if you have met all other graduation requirements. You are exempt from any Lyceum obligation during your final semester before graduation—but only if you have already completed your Lyceum obligation fully. If you enter your final semester with a Lyceum deficit, you are advised to remedy it by attending as many Lyceums as needed during the first half of the final semester. Do not enter the final weeks before commencement with a Lyceum deficit.

Transfer StudentsYour total Lyceum requirement is tied not to the

number of credits you have transferred in; rather it is tied to the number of semesters you are enrolled here. If there is a reduction in the usual 35-Lyceum requirement in your case, it will thus be because you spend fewer than eight semesters as a full-time E&H undergraduate. Your overall Lyceum requirement can usually be estimated using the following guideline: five Lyceums per semester for each E&H semester except the final one. Your specific requirement may be clarified at the time of graduation audit.

Academic Honesty As attendance at Lyceums is an academic requirement, any attempt on the part of a student to present her or himself as having attended a Lyceum which she or he did not attend is viewed as a form of academic dishonesty and is dealt with accordingly. For example, submitting a ticket stub for a Barter play or an Arts Array film that one had not attended is a breach of the Honor Code and subject to Judicial disposition. Random checks may be conducted regarding attendance at such events.

AlternativesIf you anticipate that extraordinary circumstances

will make Lyceum attendance impossible during a given semester, you must, during the first two weeks of that semester, petition the Lyceum Committee to request an alternative way of satisfying part of the requirement. The alternative, which is usually far more time-consuming than attending Lyceums, involves reading published essays (as approved by the Committee) and writing critical reviews of them. No more than five Lyceum credits (total) may be obtained in the alternative fashion.
