University Success and First Year Experience at UNO

Need to know how to make a successful transition into college?

University Success 1001 (UNIV 1001) is an interesting, fun, and informative course for incoming students to learn about college in general and learn how to use effective strategies to be successful in college.

UNIV 1001 is a 1 credit, letter graded course that meets once a week and gives you a place where you can get valuable information, ask questions, and meet other students easily since the class is so small. UNIV 1001 will not only give you the "real story" of what you need to do to meet the demands of college, but also provide you with the strategies, resources, learning communities, and other forms of support to take the steps to be a UNO college graduate.
