THE GENERAL UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC CENTER (GUAC)

The General University Academic Center (GUAC) is an academic support unit organized to facilitate student assessment, placement, advisement, and orientation. All newly admitted students to the University are co-assigned to GUAC, along with a major department, for advisement, registration, and matriculation purposes up to the time that the required placement examination is passed and a major is formally declared. Through the Center, all freshmen and transfer students with fewer than 30 semester credit hours earned may be required to enroll in selected orientation/personal development courses that are not part of the programs of study for the various undergraduate degrees offered through the University. These courses are focused on preparing students for success at the University and beyond.

The General University Academic Center is located in the Fairchild Building, and students may request available services in Room 114 of that facility. Further information may also be obtained directly by telephoning (713)-313-7955.
