Highlands Undergraduate Enrichment
Student success programming that uses HIP (high impact practices) to enhance student engagement, learning outcomes, and support.
PROGRAMS
First-Year Experience (FYEX): Want to learn how to become a successful student? Learn how to utilize student resources and become a part of the Highlands’ culture. Develop a student portfolio and toolkit. Learn helpful skills such as study habits, time management, degree auditing your major, calculating your GPA, and writing resumes.
Learning Communities (LC): Interdisciplinary collaboration between your regular classes, linked together by an FYEX class that reinforces both. Work on an integrated project that you present at The Celebration of Learning symposium. This course promotes academic, personal, and social integration.
Peer Mentors: upperclassmen that are embedded into the FYEX & LC classes who offer social guidance and academic support. They hold group study sessions and individual tutoring. They help students achieve their potential, overcome fears, connect them to campus resources, and bridge gaps between students and professors.
