TRIO STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES | Southern Illinois University

Dear TRiO Colleagues,

As part of the SIU University Core Curriculum, all first-year students are required to take UCOL 101A: Foundations of Inquiry. The central focus of this course is to help students adjust to university life. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and behaviors critical for academic and personal success. Specifically, the TRiO UCOL course focuses on:

• Enhancing critical thinking, writing, test taking, career exploration and time management skills
• Learning about faculty expectations in the classroom, and university policies and procedures
• Building collaborative learning skills and forming positive peer networks
• Learning about research opportunities available through the McNair Scholars program
• Getting involved through volunteerism and service learning

If your students are interested in the UCOL 101A course, advise them to contact their academic advisor and request to be added to the SSS section, which is Section 206. The course meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:00 - 10:50am. Also, if your students would like to receive continued support through TRiO programs during matriculation at SIU, please have them contact the office to reserve a seat in our orientation course.

Sincerely,

Renada Greer, Director
