Campus Engagement
Campus Life
Campus life is an essential part of the student experience, designed to complement and enhance academic learning through a vibrant, supportive and inclusive community. A series of student programming is provided throughout the year for the cultural, educational and social enrichment of students, developing a sense of campus belonging.
Student Activities
The College encourages student participation in student organizations and activities. While academic preparation remains the central focus, student activities play a vital role in supporting student growth and development. Student activities assure students the opportunity of personal development and the exploration of interests beyond academics. There are a number of student clubs that appeal to the special interests of students. Intercollegiate athletics, civic engagement, seasonal festivals, and community service also afford students an opportunity for a well-rounded college experience.
To be eligible for participation in student activities, a student must be officially registered in classes at the College. Part-time, as well as online students, may participate in student activities and may be voting members of, or hold office in, clubs or organizations as provided for in the Constitution and Bylaws.
Student Government Association
Student Government Association (SGA) serves as the official voice of the student body. This student-driven association is designed to promote the general welfare of students in a democratic fashion. Through collaboration amongst the student body, faculty/staff, and college administration, the SGA strives to enhance the student experience by addressing student concerns, supporting campus initiatives and promoting student involvement both on and off campus.
Clubs
Student clubs operate and are supported through the Student Government Association. The College encourages student participation in clubs and organizations. Although student club participation may be viewed as secondary to the central purpose of academic preparation, it is nevertheless an important phase of student growth and development.

Intercollegiate Athletics
The College is committed to providing comprehensive, quality education to adults in its primary service area and strives to provide programs and activities that enhance the social, cultural, economic, and leadership development of the community.
One way the College meets these needs is through intercollegiate athletics. Intercollegiate athletics offer students an opportunity to develop self-discipline, physical and emotional well-being, and leadership skills which are pertinent to academic success.
Lenoir Community College participates in baseball and volleyball under National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Guidelines. Eligibility of athletes to participate in these sports is predicated upon their making satisfactory academic progress. Academic suspension results in ineligibility to participate regardless of reinstatement.
Recruitment of Athletes: Student athletes are recruited based on their athletic ability and academic potential. Recruitment procedures are based on NJCAA guidelines.
Athletic Guidelines: Students on suspension may not participate in athletics. In accordance with regulations of the National Junior College Athletic Association and of Lenoir Community College, to take part in baseball and volleyball a student must be full-time and maintain a cumulative average of 2.0 or better. They must also meet first or second season Academic Requirements of the NJCAA.
