Taught by supportive and committed faculty, the courses provide students with academic skills, life competencies and knowledge of institutional policies and resources. These introductory courses are offered by every college within the university and contain information specific to that college. In addition, topics such as time management, library skills, and study skills are presented.

This is a student who has successfully completed the course and can act as a resource for the students currently enrolled in the course.
