Student Services at Everglades University

ORIENTATION

The student orientation program is designed to facilitate the transition to college, to familiarize new students with the organization, staff, and operation of the University. During the orientation, students are introduced to the mission and traditions of the University, rules and regulations, study techniques, and academic standards. Accordingly, all new and transfer students are encouraged to attend the orientation. All students are encouraged to download the EU Mobile App.

ACADEMIC ADVISING

While the student is ultimately responsible for planning his/her own academic success, the University assigns each student an Academic Advisor. Students are required to meet with their advisor every semester. Advisors are available to meet with their students in person, via phone, or by email.

FAILED COURSE ADVISING

Students failing a course are required to meet with their academic advisor to discuss academic progress and financial responsibilities.

TUTORING

Tutoring is made available to those students needing additional assistance. Please contact the Academic Department to make arrangements. In addition, Everglades University utilizes a tutoring system called Tutor.com. Tutor.com is an online tutoring service provided to Everglades University students for no additional charge. Tutor.com provides tutoring in more than 250 subjects such as math, computer science, writing, English language learning, health sciences, business, and communications. Tutors are available 24/7 and review services are available for essays or research papers, returned with feedback in less than 24 hours. Tutor.com also offers support for career services and study skills. Students can access these services through the Tutor.com link on the navigation menu on the left side of the screen in every Blackboard course.

PLACEMENT

It is the policy of Everglades University to assist students in finding a career upon graduation. Prior to and after graduation, the administration will advise the student in career development skills and assist the students in finding employment in their chosen career fields. This service is available to both online and on campus students.

Everglades University utilizes a national web-based placement service at www.collegecentral.com/evergladesuniversity to further assist students in their job search. Students are required to provide the University with a current résumé to retain their placement privilege. Although Everglades University provides employment placement assistance, it does not promise or guarantee employment.

Students must not park in areas designated for the handicapped (unless possessing the appropriate licensure), on sidewalks or in “no parking” areas. Violators are subject to having their vehicle towed without prior warning or formal notification. Students must obtain and affix a valid parking permit decal to all cars parked at Everglades University. Additional permit decals may be obtained from the Student Services Department.

FIELD TRIPS

Students may be taken on field trips by their instructors at appropriate times during the classroom training period. These trips are designed to supplement the curriculum and to introduce the student to situations which cannot be reproduced in the classroom. Students will be notified in advance of any trips. Everglades University’s code of conduct applies during field trips.

GUEST LECTURERS

Everglades University believes that speakers from the business and professional world in which graduates will be entering can enhance students’ education. Guest lecturers are invited to speak to students on a variety
of relevant subjects.
