#LRbound

We are confident you will excel at LR and benefit from the high-quality academic programs, experiential and service learning opportunities, as well as the numerous student life activities and organizations. To ensure you begin your journey fully prepared, we invite all students that plan on enrolling at Lenoir-Rhyne to attend one of our Red & Black Days.

• Learn about LR’s curriculum and meet with an advisor
• Register for your first semester classes
• Hear from residence life and submit your housing preference
• Learn how to get connected to our campus community

You can also attend an information session to learn more about programs that interest you such as study abroad, student life, fraternities and sororities, career and professional development, and campus ministries. Additional sessions are scheduled for parents and guests to provide valuable information about assisting your student during the transition to LR, including financial aid, campus security, and more.

If you have been unable to attend a Red & Black Day, contact Jessica Stewart, Assistant Director of Events & Campus Visits, at jessica.stewart@lr.edu or 828.328.7970. Students must submit their enrollment deposit before registering for classes.

Registration Documents
In order to graduate from Lenoir-Rhyne, you will need to complete the requirements for an academic major and for the general education or Core Curriculum. The Core involves courses in many areas of study to help you develop the skills and gain the knowledge that you need in order to be successful—as college students, in your other classes, but also in life beyond college. The Core Curriculum Checklist outlines all the classes needed to satisfy the Core requirements. Don’t get overwhelmed when you look at it; you have four years to meet all of these requirements — and the requirements of your selected major.

Before you attend Red and Black Day, spend a little time thinking about what classes you should take in your first semester. Print the Registration Worksheet, fill it out as you select courses, and bring the worksheet to Red & Black Day. A faculty advisor will review it with you prior to registering for your classes. You will need to consult these documents while completing the worksheet: Core Curriculum Checklist, FYE Course Descriptions, Exploring Majors: First Course, and Course Selection Instructions.

Student Disclosure Form (FERPA)
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law which helps protect the privacy of student education records. The act provides eligible students the right to inspect and review their education records. An “eligible student” under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or one who attends a postsecondary institution. The intent of the legislation is to protect the rights of students and to ensure the privacy and accuracy of education records.

All LR students must have a student disclosure (FERPA) on file. You may complete a new FERPA at any point in time. Please print the FERPA, complete, and bring the disclosure to Red and Black Day.

Verify your LR account information and change your password (be sure to write it down!). This information will be MAILED to you after submitting your deposit.
