  • Help with navigating unique challenges and overcoming barriers to success in every aspect of your university experience. From academic challenges to social adjustments, our team provides support that helps you thrive.

How it Works

Request support if you feel you need some extra help during your LRU experience or we’ll reach out to you if we notice signs that you may be struggling: failing/failing grades, a drop in attendance or extreme behavioral changes.

If you’re concerned about a peer, you can turn to us for guidance.

Privacy

We handle all support with care for your privacy and in line with FERPA guidelines.
