University Learning is an excellent way for students to become familiar with campus, including important resources. Through the University Learning course, students are introduced to the library, the Advising and Career Development Center (ACDC), the Writing Center, campus technology, and many other important student services and centers. This course targets incoming first-year students and plays a major role in their first semester success at WKU. Students who successfully complete the University Learning course tend to remain WKU students after their first semester. This is due mostly to faculty and campus connections made through the IDST 199 course.
