Welcome to University College!

 

S Jhah

Welcome to Arizona State University!

I’m very happy you’ve chosen to embark on this next phase of your academic journey with us here at University College at ASU. Whether you’re finding your way as an Exploratory student or taking advantage of the many support services offered, I’m confident you’ll have everything you need here to thrive.

At University College, our goals are to design personalized learning experiences for learners from all backgrounds, to integrate work and learning experiences, and to provide support services to help all students succeed.

You’ll find in the Explore program an experience centered around intentional exploration. What drives you? What problems do you want to solve? These are the questions we’re here to help you navigate.

Through exploratory advising, coaching, courses, and experiential learning, you will build academic skills, become more connected to our campus and the professional world, and find a major that aligns with your interests and goals.

University College is also home to services and programs aimed at helping all students thrive at ASU.

The Student Success Center connects with a variety of students through peer coaching, where peer coaches act as a catalyst to goal achievement with support customized to your individual interests and strengths.

University Academic Success Programs have tutoring centers on each campus and online: you’ll always have access to support resources.

American Indian Student Support Services supports and assists Indigenous students as a home away from home. Success by Design offers unique courses that help students build skills and mindsets to thrive at university. The LEAD Program helps first-year students create connections with classmates, faculty and peer success coaches in specific LEAD classes, in addition to building academic and life skills relevant at ASU and beyond.

We’re here to help you achieve your goals.

Sincerely, 

Sukhwant Jhaj
