Student Success


Assisting students to successfully navigate their academic journey from orientation through graduation.

Lenoir-Rhyne University 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 & Retention is to shore up institutional efforts, strengthen outcomes and directly assist students in achieving their educational goals.

Faculty & Staff Resources

  • Advising Resources

    Faculty and staff can find information about advising, related academic policies as well as important advising contacts alongside other faculty resources on the LR Portal. The university catalog is also a great resource.

  • Student Concern Referral Form

    Faculty may alert the Office of Student Support and Outreach when students have attendance, academic performance and/or other issues using the Student Concern Referral Form. This form automatically notifies Student Support and Outreach staff.

    Student support staff will work immediately to connect with the student, determine need and quickly connect them to available resources, including, the Office of Student Success, Dean of Students, Cornerstone Wellness Center, counseling services and many others. In most cases, faculty and staff may not be updated on the referral outcome to maintain student confidentiality. 

    Each student has a unique care network, comprised of campus members that can step in and support our students on their path to success.
