SE 1010 Freshman Success is a course every first-year student takes their first semester. It is designed to ensure first-year student success by providing you, the students, with tools needed to manage your emotional, social, and academic transition to the university. In SE 1010 you will learn to cultivate effective and adaptable behaviors, to develop successful academic strategies, and to connect with a professional academic advisor to explore career options and academic plans.
To better connect with other students in your academic field, SE 1010 courses are divided into eight academic focus areas. This gives you the opportunity to meet other students in your academic focus area and learn more about how to succeed in that chosen field. In addition, your SE 1010 instructor also serves as your academic advisor for your entire first-year of college or until your reach 30 credit hours, whichever comes first.
