• Return to Normal University Operations on Thursday, Feb. 20

    Lenoir-Rhyne University will return to normal university operations on Thursday, Feb. 20, at our all of our campus locations—Hickory, Columbia and Asheville. Classes will resume as scheduled, and all offices will be open.

    UPDATE: Feb. 20, 9:15 a.m. (from Academic Affairs)
    Due to the recent weather changes in Hickory, you may opt to move your classes to remote delivery today if you have concerns about safely traveling to campus. If you choose to hold classes remotely, please notify your students and your dean as soon as possible.

    For those holding in-person classes, we ask that you exercise flexibility with attendance policies, understanding that some students may face transportation challenges or safety concerns. Students should not feel compelled to risk unsafe travel conditions to attend class.

    Please communicate your teaching plans to your students and your dean.

    Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring everyone's safety while maintaining academic continuity.

Student Handbook

The Student Handbook is a compilation of official policies for members of the student body of Lenoir-Rhyne University. Should there appear to be a conflict between materials in the handbook (and campus-specific addendums) and the university catalog, the catalog should take precedence.

The policies contained in the Student Handbook are a part of a relationship between the student and the university. In accepting admission with the university, a student is responsible for an awareness of this relationship and to be informed regarding the policies and procedures found in the document.
