Empowering You For Academic Success

Student Success & Academic Support


Whether it's academic or personal, LR offers advising and academic support resources and services that will set you up for success.

All undergraduate and graduate students should take advantage of available academic advising, tutoring and coaching opportunities. You may think that you should only get help when you’re struggling, but we want you to know that's not the case.

Student Success


Lenoir-Rhyne is committed to the success of our students as whole persons. Every office and area shares in this mission. The role of the Office of Student Success is to shore up institutional efforts, strengthen outcomes and directly assist you in navigating your student journey from orientation through graduation and beyond.

Academic Advising 


Academic advising is focused on the development of a plan to achieve a degree that reflects your own unique interests, abilities, goals and values. This plan includes both the coursework required for your degree and learning opportunities and experiences beyond the classroom, including co-curricular activities, study abroad and internships.

The Advising Center provides general advising services to all first-year and exploratory students as well as success coaching and helps with academic planning to any student in need.  The Advising Center is open for drop-in appointments Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. We are located Suite 204 on the second floor of the Rudisill Library.

First-Generation Students


First-generation students are those students whose parents did not complete a four-year college or university degree. 

Our goal is to help first-generation students tap into their strengths and meet their challenges, in the context of a supportive community of other first-generation students, faculty and staff.
