BAC 104: Military Veterans Seminar

BAC 104 is a one-semester, 1-credit course designed and required of all veteran students, excluding dependants. During this semester-long course, students are introduced to learning the skills, both academic and social, necessary for successful transition to college life. Additionally, this course assists students in gaining an understanding of the goals of the Baccalaureate Experience at UT and helps them in developing and implementing an academic plan that will lead to academic success. Other areas of exploration include: assisting students in navigating through the campus community, educating them on its various student organizations, support services and social and cultural experiences; reviewing students’ academic progress by periodic faculty evaluation and self-evaluation of their coursework; supporting students in the exploration, preparation and development of personal, academic and professional goals; and providing students with guidance on how they can transfer the valuable leadership skills acquired in the military to civilian and academic life. Grades in the First-Year Experience Seminar are awarded under the A-F grading system.
