How Saint Joseph’s helps students to succeed

Year.One program

It’s not unusual for first-year students to face an adjustment to college life. The Year.One program helps your child with the transition by assigning them a mentor to check in with, helping them learn about academic resources and effective study techniques, and keeping them informed about extracurricular activities that can encourage participation in campus life.

The Academic Center

The Academic Center provides study skills workshops, writing tutors, peer tutoring within various departments, individualized mentoring for academic success, and accommodations for students with disabilities. The Academic Center also works with each student to set goals for academic success and to connect students with help they may need. In addition, the staff runs the Study Abroad program.

Internships

Student-Athlete Academic Office (SAAO)

We’re proud of the academic records of our student-athletes. At Saint Joseph’s, your child is first a student. The SAAO works as a liaison between the student-athlete and college academic staff. If an athlete needs help managing studies and sports, our coaches encourage them to go to the Academic Center where they can get help through workshops and tutors. If your child needs help, encourage him/her to be in touch with:
