Service Timeline Summer Immersion Experience
Connect with your Success Navigator Bi-weekly in UNC 101: UNC 101 is a bi-weekly in person seminar occurring for 1 hour on Mondays. Your Success Navigator will give you the dates of your in person seminar days, and a list of engagement tasks to complete on non class days. UNC 101 will help explain college culture and the best tips to transition well. This course will assist you with building community, understanding your why, recognizing campus resources, and engaging on campus. Like all courses, Success Navigators will have scheduled office hours in case you need additional support or clarification.
Schedule a 1:1 Success Coaching Session: You can schedule a meeting with your Success Navigator to let them know how you are doing or if you need additional help, meetings can be virtual or in person. To schedule a meeting go to your network in the Bengal Success portal and click your Navigator's name. You may also email them directly, or stop by the lounge in Bengal 118 during drop in hours.
