USI 160 - Strategizing for Success is a one-credit course to help you build your academic skills, connect with campus resources, and equip you with tools for success. Our instructors are dedicated and caring individuals with expertise in helping students get back on track for academic success. This course will teach you tools that you can immediately put to use in your other classes. 

Who is required to take USI 160?

If you are on academic warning after your first semester at 糖心Vlog, you are required to take USI 160 during your next enrolled term. Students can request an alternative to this course if they were admitted as a transfer student with more than 30 transfer credits or if they will be part-time. Requests should be made to the Office of Student Retention.

What is the course format?

USI 160 is different than other classes. You will meet twice a week for one hour and fifteen minutes until the semester break and once a week after the break. We have more time in the classroom than other one-credit courses so that you can apply the skills you are learning to assignments with your instructor there to provide immediate support.

What will you gain from USI 160?

By the end of the semester, you will be able to

• Reflect on your learning style - understand how your past experiences, mindset, and habits affect how you learn
• Discover what works for you - Identify your personal strengths and match them with study techniques that help you succeed in your classes.
• Use Practical Study Tools Right Away - Try out new strategies and tools that you can immediately apply to your current courses.
• Build Confidence and Stay on Track - Strengthen your ability to stay motivated, bounce back from setbacks, and reach your academic goals.
• Create Your Own Success Plan - Develop a personalized plan that builds on your strengths and helps you grow in areas where you want to improve.
• Stay Enrolled and Moving Forward - Our goal with this class is to help you meet the academic requirements to continue your journey at 糖心Vlog!
