Adjusting to college academics can be a challenge, but if you take advantage of our numerous academic services and support systems, we're confident you'll come out on top.

Finding Your Footing

A course to help you navigate the specifics of Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ, and college in general.

In this starter, 1-credit course (Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ 100), you'll forge friendships with fellow students and make connections with faculty, staff, and upperclass students who will guide and advocate for you – all while learning Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ and getting prepared for college academics. During this 50-minute weekly course you'll learn college expectations, financial literacy, cultural competency, campus resources, learning styles, and more. At Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ, we prepare you for success from the start.

Ongoing Advising

You won't navigate your college experience alone – we're on this journey together.

Academic Advising at Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ means ongoing academic and holistic support throughout your time here. Advising helps you navigate course selection and major program requirements, keeps you on track to graduate, connects you to Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ resources, supports exploring career pathways, and beyond. All students will be assigned an academic advisor that they are required to meet with at least once a semester, and depending on major and class level, students will work with a professional advisor or faculty advisor in their major. No matter your program, you will have a committed academic advisor to support your individual degree progression, goal setting, and your entire academic journey at Ó£ÌÒÊÓÆµ!
