Classes meet once per week in an informal, small group setting, and students are also encouraged to meet with staff for individual assistance. The staff and resources of the program remain available to assist students even after their formal participation in the course ends. The staff also works individually with each student to identify previous difficulties and develop success strategies. This program serves as a referral source for faculty and staff who have identified students experiencing personal or academic difficulty. Once referred, students are made aware of the concern and offered assistance.
Faculty then receive follow-up information on the interaction and outcomes.
The staff provides assistance with time management, note taking, test preparation, etc. Tutors are recommended by respective faculty.
