Project Summary

To better support students who are new to academic warning or probation—particularly those with multiple course withdrawals (DEWs)—University College is enhancing the UNI 220 course. This redesigned experience will offer holistic, wrap-around support for campus immersion students, combining personalized academic guidance, growth mindset messaging, and data-informed interventions. The course will be updated to integrate actionable analytics, connect students with supplemental academic resources, and help them build the skills and confidence needed to succeed in their current and future courses.
