First-Year Advising
At Lenoir-Rhyne University, you can expand your world, make connections – intellectual and personal – and seek answers. We believe in your potential and the promising future you want.
We prepare you for a successful first year at LR through our programs and resources, whether you are a first-year student, transfer student or LR Online student.

Our faculty and staff are committed to your success at LR. Our goal is to help you create and achieve your educational, career and life goals. Meeting with a first-year advisor is different than that with your high school guidance counselor. We want to learn about your interests to help you explore all options and personalize your academic experience at LR.
