Center for First-Year Experience & Student Success Services and Programs
The Center for First-Year Experience & Student Success is a collection of services and programs designed to support the University's learning goals, help UIndy students attain academic success and foster student retention. We realize that learning and becoming a successful student involves mastering a variety of academic skill sets. Our goal is to provide UIndy students with tools and support to develop the academic skills needed to reach your potential. We assist undergraduate students in becoming self-determined, motivated and independent learners by providing opportunities for growth through the following services and programs:
Individualized Academic Assistance
We are available to assist students on an individual basis and will customize an individual success plan based upon your academic needs. To set up an individualized meeting, please contact us at fye@uindy.edu or 317-788-6153.
Academic Success Program
Students attending the University with specific admittance status are required to participate in the Academic Success Program. We provide a variety of activities designed to help first-year students meet the demands of college and bridge the gap between high school and university life.
Secrets of Success (SOS) Workshops
SOS workshops are offered throughout the academic year and cover a wide range of academic, social and personal topics, such as:
- Study tips
- How to succeed on essay exams
- Time management
- Roommate and relationship issues
- Health and nutrition information
- Internship and career advice
A schedule of the current semester's workshops is available in our office.
Free Peer Tutoring
In addition to academic-help labs already in place on campus, we offer free peer tutoring. Peer tutors provide academic support and guidance to students enrolled in general education courses. This walk-in tutoring consists primarily of study strategies, rather than content-specific tutoring. Tutoring takes place on weekdays in the late afternoon and early evening. A schedule for the current semester is available in our office.
Probation Support
We are available to assist students on probation and will create an academic success plan to address each student's unique situation. To set up an individualized meeting, contact us at fye@uindy.edu or 317-788-6153.
