The Capstone Center for Student Success (CCSS) is offering Learning Communities (LC) reserved for Crimson EDGE students. Crimson EDGE students from Culverhouse College of Business, the College of Engineering or Capstone College of Nursing are eligible to apply.
Each community within the program will accommodate up to 19 students, ensuring personalized support from advisors, instructors and faculty. These communities comprise peers sharing common majors and career goals, enrolled in at least three related courses during the fall semester. Students benefit from weekly guidance from an academic advisor, also serving as instructor for the BCE 101 class. Structured tutoring and study groups enhance learning, complemented by social events, networking sessions and informative workshops tailored for the community’s members.
Every participant in the learning community will be automatically enrolled in a predetermined trio of courses for the upcoming fall semester, with the specific courses tailored to each community’s focus. Additionally, students admitted to the learning community will all join the same BCE 101 course, taught by their designated academic advisor.
