Happy Friday everyone!

Starting Thursday, September 13, Schedule for Success students will no longer be restricted to 13 units.  That morning, the cap will be released and students will be able to start enrolling in late start courses.  We are emailing students today, letting them know about this option and giving them information about how they can find the classes in uaccess.  We are also encouraging them to take care of any holds that may prevent them from enrolling.

We are recommending six courses in particular because they are supported by Supplemental Instruction (SI) and we have partnered with the professors/departments to hold some seats for our students.   For those of you who may not be as aware, SI is a free service that provides weekly course-specific study sessions.  SI Leaders have previously excelled in the course, attend weekly classes alongside students, and meet with professors to ensure SI sessions cover important concepts.  Students who attend SI sessions develop test-prep strategies, focus on writing strategies, and/or discuss readings.

The classes are below (they all begin September 24 and are 10 weeks long):

ANTH 160A1 | Instructor: Lars Fogelin
