DAVIS COLLEGE
Academic Support



In the Davis College, we want our students to be happy, healthy, and academically successful! If you ask almost any professor on campus, their top advice for succeeding in the classroom would include 1) READ YOUR SYLLABUS, 2) get to know your professors, and 3) go to office hours for help.

Beyond those critical basics, we have you covered with resources to help you choose a degree plan, register for classes, actually pass those classes, and do it all in a way that sets you up for post-college success.
