Student Success

We coordinate success programming for all undergraduate students in the College of Arts & Sciences.  Our programs for First-Generation students include our flagship program First 2 Finish, as well as programming for our Regents’ Scholars in the College, and Arts & Sciences Leadership Scholars. We also coordinate the College’s Hullabaloo U program for all incoming freshmen.

Things we CAN HELP you with:

Please note: While Undergraduate Student Success staff members can assist you in navigating any challenges you may face, our team cannot advise you on classes, majors, degree plans, or probation questions.  Academic program-related questions are best served by communicating with your academic advisors.

Please e-mail us at artsci-ugradsuccess@tamu.edu or make an appointment to meet with one of us.  We look forward to helping you be successful.

First 2 Finish (F2F) is a brand-new Arts & Sciences-specific program that connects incoming and continuing first generation students with the Undergraduate Student Success Team—a group of program managers and coordinators that will provide workshops, mentoring, student peer mentors, and small group sessions—to help first generation students build a strong foundation for their academic, professional, and social success.  If you are a first-generation student in any department or major within the college, you have access to the programming provided by the F2F program. 

If you'd like to learn more about F2F and upcoming events, please contact the College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Student Success Team Office at artsci-ugradsuccess@tamu.edu Information on upcoming events are also shared on our Instagram site tamuartsci_ugss.
