LLE 25-26 Cohort Pathways & Requirements

Welcome, 2025–2026 LLE Cohort!

Welcome to the Lincoln Legacy Experience (LLE)! Your LLE journey is designed to help you make the most of your Lincoln experience from your first semester through graduation.

Through LLE, you will explore your strengths, build meaningful connections, develop new skills, engage in experiences, and prepare for life beyond Lincoln. Along the way, you will collect artifacts and build an ePortfolio that tells the story of your growth.

YOUR LLE JOURNEY
Your LLE route is based on how you enter Lincoln University.

First-Year Students

Students entering Lincoln as first-year students will follow the traditional LLE sequence:

  • Pathway 1: Foundation
  • Pathway 2: Exploration
  • Pathway 3: Transition
  • Final Showcase

You will begin with Pathway 1, where you will build a strong foundation for academic success, personal development, involvement, wellness, and career preparation.

Transfer Students

Your LLE journey may look different. Your starting point and requirements are based primarily on the number of accepted transfer credits you have when you enter Lincoln University.

Depending on your credits, you may complete a modified version of Pathway 1 and/or Pathway 2 before continuing to Pathway 3. This ensures that your LLE requirements recognize the college experiences you already bring to Lincoln while preparing you for your next steps.

HOW LLE WORKS
Throughout each Pathway, you will:

Complete Pathway 1

Attend required Pathway 1 events, Den Meetings, and activities. Complete reflections and submit required artifacts through your LionsConnect LLE Checklist.

Complete Summer Portfolio Prep & Start Your ePortfolio

Complete the LLE Summer Success Portfolio Prep to reflect on your first-year experiences and identify meaningful artifacts. Transfer these artifacts into Canvas to begin building the ePortfolio you will continue developing through graduation.

Complete Pathway 2 & Build Your ePortfolio

Complete Pathway 3 & Final Capstone Portfolio

During your junior and senior years, complete required Pathway 3 experiences and artifacts and continue refining your ePortfolio. Submit your Final Capstone Portfolio to showcase your growth, skills, experiences, and accomplishments.
