The primary purpose of this
course is to help students transition successfully to the
university. The focus of the course will be to familiarize
students with campus resources and to facilitate their
engagement in the university experience. Through group
discussions with a faculty mentor, students will develop
critical thinking and social interaction skills to prepare them
for the academic environment. Students will become active
participants in the university community. Course content will
include access to university resources, college policies, role
of the academic advisor, student support services, and
university academic requirements.
