Students Taking Academic Control (STAC)
What is the Students Taking Academic Control (STAC) program?
The STAC program helps selected UNL students take a holistic approach toward academic performance. The main objective is to provide students with the necessary academic, co-curricular and cultural enrichment skills in order them to meet satisfactory academic standards.
Special features of the program include:
Self-Assessment Survey
Designed to help students' self-perceive areas of strengths and weaknesses. (All Information kept confidential.)
Academic Support
A series of educational workshops, assistance with faculty and staff related to class performance, free tutoring and consistent monitoring of progress through collecting grade reports twice during the semester.
Individual Meetings
During the semester students meet weekly with their OASIS Program Coordinator to review academic progress and discuss any specific needs and courses of action that will lead to satisfactory academic standing.
Suggested Study Hours
A commitment to solid study time is a prerequisite to academic success and therefore completion of 6 study hours per week in the NU Connections Success Lab is strongly recommended or the Culture Center.
Who is eligible for STAC?
First time students, on academic probation, who have completed their first semester at UNL.
Lecture Series includes:
- Transition (High School to College)
