Our Departments
Our department is committed to helping students reach their full academic potential. Understanding the importance of integrating academic and student life, the staff members work with students to assist their development both inside and outside the classroom.

With collaborative efforts, we will assist students with any challenges that affect their academic progress.
The Office of Academic Transitions is dedicated to supporting students' academic and personal success at Lehigh University. As an identified resource for addressing issues related to recruitment, retention and persistence of special populations, we work to ensure students' use of and benefit from campus support and opportunities that will facilitate their overall success at the university in both the academic and student life realms.
The Center provides peer tutoring services in many first and second-year courses (introductory and 100-level courses) and study skills assistance, free of charge, to Lehigh University students. It is our goal to help students become successful, independent, and self-confident learners.
The Community Service Office and its programs touch the lives of countless people in South Bethlehem and beyond. Take some time to explore our website, read our newsletters and annual reports, and just imagine the stories.
