Faculty Resources

Faculty!  It’s IMPORTANT for you to know the EXCEL Center offers services to faculty as well as students.

From helping students in your class with our early intervention program, to coming to your class with study skills presentations, to assistance with academic advising, the EXCEL Center strives to serve UWG faculty as well as students.

Check out the following services:

DegreeWorks

DegreeWorks is a web-based tool for schedule planning and degree audit. It tracks degree progress, prepares for registration, and plans for graduation. It also maintains record of advisement notes & schedules and aids academic advising, but not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions.

Early Alert Program

The Early Alert Program is an early intervention program in which you may refer students to us who may be missing too many classes, making poor grades on tests, or demonstrate other forms of inadequate class participation.  We’ll contact the students and set up appointments with academic advisors, and/or tutors. 

Class Presentations

Invite the EXCEL Center Staff in to use that time to help your students with all kinds of academic college success tips.

Academic Advising

The EXCEL Center is the academic advising home of all UWG students who have not decided on a major.  In addition EXCEL assists the College of Arts and Sciences with advisement of many pre and early majors.  We publish the Core Curriculum guide and work closely with UWG’s Professional Association of Academic Advisors (PAAA).

 

Major/Career Exploration

The FOCUS program lets students see and do the following:
1.  Major Exploration —assist with students discovering their major, career and educational goals, academic strengths, career planning status, personal development needs.
2.  Self Assessment—FOCUS  offers work interest, leisure interest, skills, personality, and values assessment.
3. Combine the results of Multiple Assessment to suggest ideal major(s)—student personal portfolio, review and update saved occupations, review and update saved majors, review and print portfolio.

College Success Seminars

College Success Seminars are offered each Fall Semester to assist our first term students with a successful transition to college life as we offer sessions on learning styles; getting to know your professors; study skills; test taking tips and time management, to name a few.
