Through this course, students learn the university system-its purpose, policies, procedures, requirements, and resources. Students begin the process of goal setting and academic monitoring and learn the differences between college and high school settings. Learning Strategies helps students to develop learning and study skills such as goal setting, time management, concentration, retention, note-taking, textbook study, and test taking. These are techniques that will benefit students throughout their college career. Career Exploration gives students the opportunity to explore their personal and academic strengths in relation to various career options.
Students learn the process of career development and further refine their academic goals.
Peer advisors are successful upper-class students who, after extensive training, serve as positive role models for incoming freshmen. They are committed to helping students adjust successfully to college life by assisting with personal, social, and academic concerns. Students who, at the end of their first year, are on academic probation will be assigned an advisor in the Learning Center Program. This advisor works with these upper-class students with the goal of improving their academic standing so they may be transferred to their major department. Psychology graduate assistants working with upper-class probationary students provide workshops and individual assistance in stress, time, and anxiety management.
