Message from the UC Dean

Dear Eagles,

“If you understand how you think and work, you have more control over who you will become.” -Ken Bain in "What the Best College Students Do"

Happy September! As the seasons change, students are learning both inside and outside the classroom. Indicators of success such as Early Warning grades help advisors and students determine areas of improvement. Early Warning Grades are typically distributed to students around September 19.

Did You Know?

Registration opens Spring 2025 on October 6 for priority students such as athletes, veterans, students with disabilities, and more. We highly encourage students to meet with their academic advisor ASAP. Students can make an appointment by checking their email for information from their advisor. We work on a Town Hall approach for students. Students should attend a Town Hall to get into classes for Spring 2025. Registration is first come, first serve.
