STUDENT SERVICES

Davis College has developed programs that make the transition to college easier. Davis College also offers an Early Alert Program that identifies students having difficulty in their classes and makes them aware of tutoring and other services offered by Davis College and the university. Additionally, faculty members conduct targeted academic advising so that each student receives personal attention from a professor. These programs have resulted in a Davis College one-year retention rate of 86.4 percent and a six-year graduation rate of 77.2 percent – among the highest in the university.
