Gateways 103: Academic Development and Success for Transfer Students

Gateways 103 is a one-semester, 1-credit course designed and recommended for transfer students who do not meet the Gateways 101/102 requirements. During this semester-long course, students are introduced and assisted in navigating through the campus community, educating them on its various organizations, support services and social and cultural experiences, in order to ensure a successful transition to The University of Tampa. Additionally, this course assists students in gaining an understanding of the goals of the Baccalaureate Experience at UT and helps them in developing and implementing an academic plan that will lead them to academic success. Other areas of exploration include: helping students think critically about all issues, including a thorough review of their academic skills and personal integrity; reviewing students’ academic progress by periodic faculty evaluation and self-evaluation of their coursework; and assisting in the exploration, preparation and development of personal, academic and professional goals and their impact on their career objectives. Students earn 1 satisfactory/unsatisfactory credit hour for successful completion of this course.
