OASIS Student

Success Program

Gaughan Center

The Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services (OASIS) works to enhance student success by promoting academic excellence, diversity awareness, and social engagement. OASIS serves ALL University of Nebraska-Lincoln students. OASIS staff provides one-on-one assistance, academic resources, and programs that offer UNL students academic, cultural, and personal tools necessary to successfully navigate the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the world beyond. Services are targeted to meet the needs of historically underrepresented populations (first-generation, low-income, DACA, undocumented, ethnic/racial minorities, international students, and students with diverse identities).

The OASIS Student Success Program is a year-long program designed to assist students transitioning from high school to college. The program offers a 13-week, zero-credit seminar, covering topics such as time management, social and academic integration, money management, study skills, identity, and diversity awareness. The seminar seeks to connect students with additional University academic support services, social engagement, and leadership opportunities.
