What
is the goal of BUILD?
All students and staff of the BUILD program are members of a unique educational community whose goal is to access
each student's potential for success. Such a goal requires tremendous individual and cooperative effort on the part of each
member of this community. The basic tenets of this collaboration include:
- Commitment to an understanding of one's strengths and difficulties
- Dedication to one's own academic and personal growth
- Honesty in academic endeavors
- Careful organization of time and information
- Personal accountability
- Persistence and hard work towards achieving goals
- Utilization of all support offered at the university
The BUILD program supports self-advocacy. Students are expected to function independently as mature, responsible adults in
fulfilling academic requirements and attaining their scholastic and personal goals. Students are expected to attend all class
sessions and interact with professors. BUILD tutorials are to support student academic endeavors. However, tutors will assist
students review class information, discern main concepts, set goals, and recommend skills to reach goals. Students are expected
to attend tutorial sessions with homework and reading assignments attempted. Tutors will be available to help explain unclear
concepts; however, students are encouraged to meet frequently with professors.
