What are some other programs offered by the SAM Center designed to help students succeed with their academics?
First Alert is a program by which professors refer students to the SAM Center who are doing poorly in their classes or are not attending. The staff at the SAM Center contacts the students to meet with them to determine the best course of action to take in order to succeed in that class. Study Skills classes are offered to all students. These are six one-hour classes which meet weekly for six weeks and cover such topics as procrastination, note-taking, stress management, time management, and reading textbooks. VIP (Voluntary Intervention Program) is for students to put themselves in a monitored program with the help of a mentor at the SAM Center. All the student needs to do is come to the SAM Center and request a meeting with a SAM Center mentor and the student will be accommodated. There are VIP forms available across campus in classrooms and also in residence halls.
