Through active participation in a Ferris State University Seminar course:
Students will become familiar with FSU's campus resources and develop an awareness of how they learn, how to access academic and personal support services, and effective time management strategies. Students will learn about and understand wellness issues that directly impact their health and safety, how to apply basic study skills techniques to their academic courses, how to appreciate differences and similarities among the members of the diverse Ferris community, academic integrity, and classroom etiquette skills that foster appropriate conduct in the post secondary institution setting. Students will receive academic advising and technical assistance to insure appropriate registration for the next semester and encouragement to become active participants and contributors in campus and community activities. In addition, students will become familiar with the mission of Woodbridge N. Ferris and his life as educator, statesman, and humanitarian, thereby promoting an appreciation for and understanding the uniqueness of Ferris State University.
