How will I benefit?

Becoming a GOALS student gives you access to a wealth of campus resources such as:

  • Guaranteed enrollment in classes that fulfill General Education Requirements.

  • An advocate to facilitate campus support systems.

  • Connections with other first-year students.

  • A pre-selected first semester schedule that makes the transition to college successful.

  • Individualized support from faculty and staff.

  • Access to midterm grade reports.

    Why Should I Participate?

    The GOALS Learning Community gets you off to a good start.

    It’s difficult to enter a university without seeing familiar faces. Throughout your first semester, your classes are scheduled with fellow GOALS students. This helps you establish friendships and creates a support system outside of the classroom.

    National research indicates that students who establish connections in college are more successful.

    The GOALS Learning Community gives you that "YSU Connection," not only academically,
    but also socially.

                "I think GOALS is one of the best things a person can be in at YSU.  The coordinator really helps you out if
    you are feeling stressed about your classes..." – 2003-2004 GOALS student

                "GOALS made me feel a part of YSU.  It also helped me make new friendships.  It's like a big happy
    family!" – 2003-2004 GOALS student

                "GOALS means great lasting friendships, a coordinator to help you out, and some really awesome
    food!" –2003-2004 GOALS student
