AAA 1001/AIMS 101

You're not alone, so don't go it alone!

If you're a first-year student, AAA 1001/AIMS 101 is designed to set you up to succeed in college. You'll access valuable resources and gain life lessons while establishing your Aims community.

This course meets twice a week for just 5 weeks. You'll gain great benefits for just 20 hours or less of your time - no textbooks required. Upon completion, you may qualify to earn a 3-credit tuition waiver.

Aims has so many resources it would have been nearly impossible for me to know all of them without this class.
