Success Express

Listed under Higher Education 197 A, Success Express is a one-unit course offered to first-year students in the fall semester. It is co-taught by graduate students in Higher Education and Residence Life staff.

Created to promote student success in the first year of college, Success Express encourages discovering opportunities, making a successful transition to college, and taking responsibility for one’s college experience.

The course focuses on student experiences during the first year and offers in-class discussions, reflective journal writing and out-of-class experiences designed to acquaint students with the University.

What I liked about Success Express was that it introduced me to many things on campus I had yet to see. It's a great way to learn things about campus and what it has to offer.
