Academic Advising

Lees-McRae College is dedicated to providing quality academic advising and assisting students through the registration process. Entering freshmen are assigned a freshman faculty advisor. This faculty advisor teaches the student in CLA 199 First Year Seminar during the first semester that the student is enrolled. Faculty advisors provide assistance regarding academic and life choices. No later than the end of the sophomore year, students are expected to declare a major and will then be assigned to a faculty advisor in their major area of study. The major advisor will provide guidance through the remainder of their time at Lees-McRae College.
