Academic Help and Tutoring Resources

First-Year Engineering Academic Success Program (ASP)

The First-Year Engineering Program offers ASP to all second-semester First-Year Engineering students who have an overall GPA less than 2.0 at the completion of the fall semester. ASP is a voluntary academic support program offered in the spring semester that aims to:

  • Help students work toward improving their academic performance
  • Introduce students to the support services available on campus
  • Assist students as they explore and confirm their choice of major
  • Support students with scheduled appointments with professional academic advisors throughout the spring semester
  • Mentor students through peer student interactions

Students who qualify for participation in ASP will receive initial information about ASP via e-mail from their advisor and may discuss this further with their advisor when they return in January.

ASP consists of the following components:

  • Advisor meetings:  Four scheduled meetings throughout the semester to discuss concerns, academic progress, coursework, attendance, and develop a consistent contact person in the First-Year Engineering program. 
  • Peer mentors:  ASP students can request to be paired with an upper-level engineering student. The pairings will be determined by the needs of each ASP student and their engineering major of interest.
  • Course/workshop support

You are encouraged to enroll in a General Studies course (preferably GS 29500) and also encouraged to attend the Academic Success Center workshops. 

If you are interested in ASP and are eligible to participate, please fill out the sign-up form.

For more information regarding the ASP program, please contact Annie Jarrard.
