transition ... engage ... learn

 

Welcome to University College at Texas A&M University-Kingsville! We hope the information provided on our web site will help you learn about our College and the support we provide to new and continuing students. Since 1989, University College has served as the gateway to academic success on our campus and provides support to students through academic advising, developmental education, the Texas Success Initiative, supplemental instruction, Learning Assistance Center tutorial services, and the Honors Program. Each year, the College hosts Freshman Convocation, a campus-wide event designed to introduce campus traditions and a spirit of success and achievement to incoming students.

New initiatives are also actively engaged in enhancing student success in University College. A campus-wide graduation campaign, called ‘JAV-A-FUTURE’, was initiated at Freshman Convocation in fall 2005. This campaign will develop and provide tools to improve student persistence to graduation. Javelina Learning Communities provide the sense of community within and outside of the classroom that has played a powerful role in student learning and success at campuses throughout the nation. In fall 2004, Project I Can, an innovative consortium agreement with our local community college partner, Coastal Bend College, was initiated in an effort to increase the academic success of under-prepared students.

There is so much to be proud of at Texas A&M University-Kingsville’s University College! We look forward to meeting you and will provide assistance as needed to make your first year a successful one!
