It’s a unique experience for freshmen to transition into college life. The University recognizes the importance for academic and developmental success and mandates enrollment in First Year Experience classes, which are designed to prepare students for the college environment.
While the class reviews the skills and competencies needed to navigate the University’s environment, it sometimes fails to provide in-depth information about the Student Health Center and its various programs.
Though there is a section in the SLS book that deals with issues pertaining to health, it is not a requirement for professors to cover the center’s services. Professors have the liberty to invite Student Health representatives to talk to students about the services available to them.
Because of this, some students are still not aware about the help they can get on campus.
