Counseling and Transfer

Counseling services are available to all Lincoln College students. The counseling office personnel offer assistance to students who are experiencing normal developmental challenges, as well as students who are challenged by the process of transition from high school to Lincoln College. Assistance is also provided for the transition from Lincoln College to any baccalaureate program.

The counseling and transfer center is located in the Student Services building. The counseling program is staffed Michelle Bauer, Director of Counseling. Appointments can be scheduled Monday through Friday. Please know that telephone calls and personal visits to the counseling center by parents, guardians, and prospective students are both welcomed and encouraged.

Transfer Support Services
Recognizing that Lincoln College is the first two years of a student’s baccalaureate experience, Lincoln College affords significant and in depth transfer support. Each academic year the Lincoln College counseling department organizes and presents two major transfer events.

Fall Transfer Event
Each fall an elaborate transfer fair program is presented for Lincoln College sophomores. At this event transfer representatives from over forty-five public and private in state and out of state colleges and universities are present to explain personally and in depth what educational options exist at their institution for the Lincoln College graduate.

Spring Transfer Event
In the spring the Private Illinois Colleges and Universities (P.I.C.U.) organization sends representatives to campus for a mini transfer fair to assist Lincoln College sophomores in the transfer process.

Other Events
Throughout the academic year, both in and out of state, public and private college and universities send representatives to campus to provide current information about the transfer process.

Transfer Network
The counseling staff has established an extensive network and maintains a strong rapport with transfer counselors at over 400 potential transfer destinations. High profile attendance and participation by Lincoln College counseling personnel at state and national professional conferences, on campus orientations, and state articulation conferences facilitate and enhance this effort.
