University of Dayton (Ohio): FIRST Program - Fully Integrated Resource Support and Transition Program & ARCC - Academic Renewal Course and Academic Coaching Program
Students Served by the Program
The First Program and the ARCC course with academic coaching are available for all students who may benefit. This includes students with Learning Disabilities and ADHD.
Program Description / Mission
FIRST Program: The program centers on a 2 credit class called The Art & Science of Learning in which students learn study skills, self management and time management techniques as they study about the brain and how it works. The course is offered in the fall semester each year, primarily for entering first year students who the Admissions Department feels may benefit. We usually have some seats available to other first year students who would like to take the course.
ARCC: Academic Renewal Course with Academic Coaching Program: The ARCC course is offered every semester, primarily for students on academic probation at the end of the previous semester; such students are usually assigned to the course by their academic Dean. We usually have seats available to other students who would like to take the course. ARCC is a 1 credit course that meets twice a week for the first half of the semester and focuses on helping students understand themselves as a learner and learn useful study and time management techniques. During the second half of the semester, ARCC students meet one-on-one with the instructor for weekly academic coaching sessions geared to each student’s specific needs. (Students in FIRST can take this course after The Art & Science of Learning if they want to continue to work closely with an instructor.)
Key Services
FIRST: The Art & Science of Learning allows a small group of students (sections are capped at 12) to work closely with an instructor during their first semester to explore what we know about how brains learn and how that applies to them. This is not a lecture course. Instructors use active learning techniques to get students actively involved during class—talking to each other, illustrating and explaining concepts, applying ideas and techniques in ways that make sense to each of them and then sharing their work with the others in the class. Students in the class say that all entering first year students should take it!
ARCC: The ARCC course is about guided self-discovery and (re)building confidence in one’s ability to succeed at the university. This is not a lecture course. Students participate actively in every class as they explore their own approaches to learning and techniques that might be new to them. And they can use the individual coaching sessions to work on any aspects of their academic life where they feel they need help.
Additional Information
