Academic Success Experience

The University strives to provide continuing services and assistance that will aid new undergraduate students in their transition to the University, introduce new students to the broad educational opportunities of the University, and integrate new students into the life of the University. The Academic Success Experience has been developed by Texas Wesleyan University to assist new freshmen in becoming familiar with the University and to be more successful in their academics. The first course in the program, ASE 1111, is required for all freshmen and freshman transfer students and is designed to address issues related to the successful transition from high school to the University. Campus orientation, time management, college level study skills, and other transitional issues are covered. International students also participate in an international student orientation addressing their specific needs, including an orientation to immigration regulations and adjustment to living and studying in the U.S. Non‐native speakers of English placed in the Linguistic Diversity Bridge Program complete ASE 1311 instead of ASE 1111.

Developmental courses: students should also refer to the developmental program regarding placement into developmental (pre-college non‐academic credit bearing) courses.
