On Track The University Advising Center On Track is a program designed to help UAC sophomore, junior and senior pre-major and General Studies students enter their academic departments as quickly as possible. It is a personalized program that assists students in attaining their academic goals, refining decision-making skills, and planning for a career. Each participant is assigned to an advisor trained specifically to work with upperclassmen that are still not in an academic department. The advisor works with the student to keep them on track or to get them on track and settled into an academic program as quickly as possible, taking into consideration academic performance, career goals, and personal interests.
Advisors also refer students to other academic, career, and personal resource centers on campus.
Beginning in Fall 2000 sophomores were included in the On Track program in order to provide them with special assistance in transitioning to their academic departments on time and offer those who are undecided about their major assistance in making their choice. On Track has produced tremendous results. Since the program began, the number of juniors and senior pre-majors advised annually by the UAC has been lowered substantially. On Track has helped hundreds of students each year who need extra assistance identifying a major or meeting those last requirements to matriculate into a program. Without On Track, these students risk dropping out and not finishing a degree.
