Return to Normal Operations
Lincoln Memorial University will return to normal operations, Wednesday, January 28, 2026, and will operate on a regular schedule at all locations, including J. Frank White Academy.
While conditions have improved, the University cannot monitor every roadway or local condition at all times across each location. Students, faculty, and staff are asked to use their personal judgment regarding travel and safety based on current conditions in their area. Safety remains our top priority, and individuals should take appropriate precautions as needed.
Please continue to monitor official University communication channels for any additional information.
Thank you for your cooperation as we move forward safely and responsibly.
University leadership, facilities, safety, and emergency management teams will continue to monitor temperatures, road conditions, and evolving weather impacts. The safety of our students, faculty, and staff remains the highest priority, and decisions will continue to be made thoughtfully based on local conditions.
Please continue to monitor official University communication channels, including University email and website updates, for any additional information or schedule changes.
Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to manage these conditions safely and responsibly.

The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA) has granted Accreditation-Continued status to the Lincoln Memorial University Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Lincoln Memorial University. Accreditation-Continued is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards.
Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next validation review of the program by the ARC-PA will be March 2035. The review date is contingent upon continued compliance with the Accreditation Standards and ARC-PA policy.
The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website at https://www.arc-pa.org/accreditation-history-lincoln-memorial-university/.
The LMU-SMS Harrogate PA Program's curriculum meets the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) requirements for graduates to be eligible to take the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE) and state licensure requirements for graduates to apply for licensure in all 50 states. The program will monitor the NCCPA and the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) websites for changes in these requirements.
