Making the transition from high school to a major university is challenging, sometimes frightening and certainly exciting--all at the same time. The UE course at USF is a "Student Success Course" designed specifically for first-year students to welcome them to USF. This seminar course brings students together in small groups to discuss such topics as:
- Electronic mail and Internet in academia
- Career Exploration
- Critical Thinking
- Time Management
- Campus Resources
- USF Policies
- Library Usage
- Diversity
- Health/Wellness
The typical UE class is built around four major themes:
- Building community
- Learning campus resources
- Developing academic skills
- Exploring character and values
We are proud of our University Experience program and hope it will become a valuable beginning to your college experience at the University of South Florida.
