Student meets with advisor

Academic Success & Exploratory Majors

We’re here to help.

LVC’s Center of Academic Success and Exploratory Majors provides comprehensive, student-centered academic support to all LVC students. The Center’s main services include one-on-one academic coaching, peer subject tutoring, peer writing conferencing, and advising for Exploratory (undeclared) majors. Our professional team works to empower students in their journey to becoming independent, life-long learners prepared to meet academic challenges and successfully complete courses and programs.

If you have any questions or concerns about receiving help, please contact us by calling 717-867-6078, emailing findyoursuccess@lvc.edu, or individually using the contact information here. We look forward to meeting you!

Academic Support

We are proud to offer comprehensive, peer-led support for LVC students, including Peer Tutoring (one-to-one and small group), Organizational Tutoring, Writing Tutoring, Writing Center Desk/Drop-In Hours, and FYE Writing Support.

Students can also work with an academic success coach on a weekly, bi-weekly, or one-off basis.

Exploratory Majors

More than one in 10 LVC students start as Exploratory majors. That just means they haven’t settled on an academic direction. In a place with as many options as LVC, you’ll have plenty of room to try out disciplines and find the right fit for you.

As an Exploratory major, you’ll team up with an advisor who will help you try out courses and electives tailored to your interests and goals. Our general education core curriculum ensures you’ll build the kind of universal skills needed to thrive no matter where your learning takes you.
