University 100

"UNIV 100" is a first semester course that actively supports new students in making a successful transition to Radford University. Taught by a teaching team-- a faculty member and a student peer-instructor, the class becomes a learning community where friendships are formed and students are engaged in learning valuable academic, social and personal life-management resources and skills. Radford University has developed its own textbook to ensure content relevance which includes university and local resources, organizations and happenings. Sections of the course are offered and adapted to meet the unique needs of new freshmen, transfer, and commuting students.

Success Starts Here is a lecture series intended to compliment the curriculum of University 100, and covers topics including academic success, values, building character, and responsible decision making.

"The class is a good way to meet new people and learn more about what actually happens on campus. There's actually more to do around here than I thought. I learned a lot more about how to get involved and join clubs or interest groups. If it weren't for the class, I wouldn't know half of the things I do about RU now."
