On-Campus Academic Resources

It is imperative that students take the necessary steps to achieve satisfactory academic performance at the University of North Dakota. The Student Success Center is committed to helping students connect with the appropriate programs and services to assist students in developing a personal plan for success.

It is important for students to take the initiative to do the following:

1. Get to know instructors. The more comfortable students are approaching their instructors, the easier it will be to ask questions.
2. Meet with academic advisors. All students have an academic advisor who is available to talk about a variety of issues and can help students create a plan for success. Students should call their department soon to schedule an appointment with their academic advisor. Undergraduate Academic Department Contact Information.
