Message from the UC Dean

Dear Eagles,

“Don’t fear mistakes, there are none.” — Miles Davis

Spring Break is finished, and we are only seven weeks away from the end of the semester. As Miles Davis pointed out, every decision we make leads to a result. Continue making stellar decisions. Now is the time to act to improve grades, grow your network, and register for Fall 2025. 

Push Towards Graduation

We encourage all students to reach:

• 30 earned credit hours after their first year
• 60 earned credit hours after their second year
• 90 earned hours after their third year to be on pace to Soar in Four (Graduate in 4 years)

One way to catch up or get ahead is through Summer Session courses. Summer Session registration is available now. Fall registration is also now available. Talk to your academic advisor for more information. 

Wellness Breaks

Wellness is important to your growth as a college student. Taking breaks, enjoying the warm weather, and exercising can help with high stress levels. RecWell (the Department of Recreation and Wellness) and the Counseling Center offer ways of improving wellness.

Important Dates

• March 17: Classes resume and Summer/Fall registration begins. The housing application for Fall 2025–Spring 2026 is available 24 hours after adding courses for Fall 2025.
• April 7: Housing deadline for Fall 2025–Spring 2026
