SEMR 2323 Foundations for Success

3 credits
This course provides a welcoming, supportive environment for students to learn to manage the responsibilities and challenges of college life, including higher-level learning, self-regulation, community-building strategies, spiritual growth, and life purpose. As members of a Christ-centered learning community, students will explore academic vocabulary, educational technology, critical thinking, information literacy, financial control, test-taking, problem-solving, time management, and university expectations and resources. 

Note:  All students who are admitted or re-admitted with conditional admission status and/or have earned less than 30 college-level course credits upon admission or readmission to SWU must enroll in SEMR 2323 or HNRS 2323.  Transfer students with regular admittance who have earned at least 30 SWU transferable credit hours (excluding exam and military credit) are exempt from SEMR 2323.  Withdrawal from SEMR 2323 is not permitted until after the last day to drop without record, and a withdrawal from the course must be completed before the last day to withdraw from a course with a grade of “W.”  Students must first consult both their advisor and the instructor before withdrawing from this course.
