Program Opportunities
Advising
Academic advising will be provided through the Office of Academic Support for students, whether or not the student has selected a major.
The director of academic support provides weekly, bi-weekly or monthly advising meetings. The frequency of those meetings is dependent upon the level of need, age, and maturity of the student.
Courses
Written Composition I (ENG 111) is required during the fall semester. Keystone students are placed together in a section of ENG 111 to establish a “learning community” within the program.
Critical Skills in Composition (ENG 195) is also a required course to be taken with ENG 111. This course is intended to expand research and writing skills for students admitted to Keystone. This is a one-hour graded course designed and taught through the English department. The class is taught in one of our computer labs which provides students with excellent resources for research.
Tutoring
The Hundley Center for Academic Enrichment and/or Math Lab provides free tutoring services for students needing individual academic tutoring. Students needing supervised study times may be required to attend prescribed sessions and others may elect to attend tutoring sessions.Orientation
Keystone Orientation meetings will be provided to assist parents and students in understanding the university’s policies and procedures as well as specifics concerning Keystone. The first meeting will occur during New Student Registration during the Summer and the second will occur on New Student Move-In day at the beginning of Fall semester. Families will be notified of the exact dates when admissions to Keystone and Union have been completed.
Evaluation
Keystone will provide both students and parents with a personal resource for academic information and support. Mid-semester and final grades are mailed to parents/guardians during the semester. Each Keystone student will be evaluated and reviewed at the end of each semester the first year to determine enrollment status.
A nonrefundable fee of $100.00 per semester will be charged for Keystone participation. Keystone students are eligible for applicable institutional, state, and federal financial assistance
