Foundations for Learning

Students often come to college unprepared for challenges in their first year. Foundations for Learning is a three-credit hour first year transition class offered through the Academic Success Offices. This course helps students understand how to improve academic performance, develop career plans, and manage personal concerns. These classes are strongly recommended for incoming freshmen and transfer students.
