The objectives of the class are to introduce the student to the college, its facilities, resources, services, activities, policies, and organizations; to assist the student in taking full advantage of the opportunities offered by the College; and to help the student in developing effective approaches to the problems frequently encountered by beginning college students. The purpose of ACA 122 is to provide information and strategies necessary to develop clear academic and professional goals beyond the community college experience.
