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 who are admitted with regular admission status and have earned a minimum of 30 college-level course credits upon acceptance or re-acceptance to SWU may be 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.
