Study Hour (STH 001)

Study Hour (STH 001) is a weekly learning-centered study session environment designed to support and guide students through the rigors of their academic and college experience. The mission of STH 001 is to provide students with a more personal approach in assisting them to improve their academic standing and meet their academic goals. The academic mentor guides students to develop the tools needed for constructive self-management and productive learning. The mentors are committed to the academic success of the students who may require additional support.

Learning Outcomes
  • Students will demonstrate increased personal accountability and self-initiative through active participation in program components including tutoring, workshops, and mentorship opportunities​
  • Students will develop personalized academic and career development plans that address their specific barriers to success while promoting their strengths and while using campus resources.

Study Hour is a zero credit/zero cost, stress-free method by which mentors support students in their academics. STH001 (Study Hour) is a free, 15-week session that meets weekly for the entire semester. Students enroll for the entire  spring and/or fall semesters.
