On campus and off campus referral resources are provided for students experiencing challenges in college or in their personal lives that could be affecting their success in pursuing their educational goals. We take pride in "Changing Lives for the Better."  Our goal is to be there as a positive support for unexpected challenges that students may encounter along the way.  We celebrate in the many accomplishments that students achieve during their academic progress.

In order to encourage positive and productive educational experiences we strongly recommend that all first time college students who are undecided about their education or career goals, or returning adult students who want to enhance their college survival skills enroll in SLS 1101, College Success Skills, a three credit hour elective course.
