During the first year the USS students must complete attendance to 8 college success workshops.  These workshops are created to host and engage learning on topics important to college success and transition.  Our First Year Success Workshops include topics on time management, money management, stress management, conflict resolution, student services, career counseling and many more. The program wants to make sure that students adjust adequately to the challenges college life will provide.  You must earn 8 workshop credits every long semester during your first year. Workshop durations are from 45 minutes to a maximum of 1 hour.  Students must arrive on time to earn credit for the workshops.  Late arrivals will not count towards attendance.

All workshops are held every day at the following days and times. Each week represents a different theme for that week.
