Course Description: The divisions of Student Success, Undergraduate Studies and Academic Innovation are proud to be part of the Student Experience Project (SEP), a national, multi-institution effort that brings together university leaders, faculty, researchers, and education organizations. Our commitment lies in implementing innovative, research-based practices to foster equitable learning environments, increase degree attainment, and enhance student success. Through SEP, we focus on cultivating a sense of belonging, promoting growth mindset, and fostering learning mindsets to improve classroom performance and persistence to degree completion. Through fostering community and a sense of belonging on campus, SEP aims to create a future of higher education where all students, especially those who face barriers, feel supported to overcome academic challenges and graduate successfully.

Creating an effective learning environment for all is important to us. To request an accommodation, please email DigitalAccessibility@utsa.edu one week prior to your scheduled training.
