SPARC: Success Pathways to Academic Resilience and Connection

Our Outreach and Support Advisors will be a friendly, reliable point of contact who can help you build a personalized academic plan. We can answer your questions about being on Academic Warning and help you identify your next steps to improve your GPA. We can also discuss your academic goals, such as programs you’d like to enter, and guide you to UFV resources and services that can help support your success.

Our Learning Strategists can help you reflect on your strengths as a student, identify areas for growth, and develop effective learning strategies to improve your academic outcomes. In your first meeting with a Learning Strategist, we’ll get to know a little bit about you as a student and introduce you to a study skills inventory. Together, in a follow-up meeting, we’ll create a customized plan that includes practical learning and study strategies tailored to your goals, courses, and learning style, helping you build confidence and achieve greater academic success.

During your first appointment, we’ll ask you how often you’d like to meet with us and what kinds of support you’d like to have this semester. Depending on your preferences, we’ll make a plan for how often you’d like us to work with you.
