UNIV 1131:

  • Student Success. This course is for university freshman and focuses on acclimating students to what it means to be a student at the college level.

UNIV 1101:

  • Student Success and Career Development. This course is for students transferring into the university and focuses on acclimating students to what it means to be a student at UTA and how to become prepared for a career on their major.
  

All IOR for a UNIV course need to have an approved CCQ with the university to teach a course.  If you are interested in becoming an Instructor of Record for a UNIV course, or for more information, please contact Danielle Klein, Director of Academic Engagement, at danielle.klein@uta.edu.
