Coursework Expectations

All undergraduate full-time and part-time students are expected to spend at least two hours of time on academic studies outside of and in addition to each hour of class time.  This expectation should be used by the student as a guide in determining how much time to spend on academic studies outside of class.  It should also be used by the student, in consultation with the academic advisor, to help determine the student's course load each semester so that the course load matches the amount of time available for academic studies.

The Office of Academic Services works with students individually or in small groups to assist students to become academically successful.  The mission of the Office of Academic Services is to facilitate and enhance students’ academic progress through the University by providing guided access to advisory sources and relevant support systems.  One of their objectives is to focus on strengthening study and time management skills.  Workshops to accomplish this objective are offered throughout the academic year.  More information can be found on their web page at the Office of Academic Services.
