Welcome Back!Returning to college is a big decision and an even bigger opportunity.
Maybe you are returning because your job has evolved, goals are
reorganized, or academic interests have stimulated you to explore higher
learning. No matter what your reason is for returning to YSU, one
thing is definite: to make the most of this opportunity, you need
to navigate through the campus community.
At YSU, we strive to create
beneficial opportunities and support for student success. One of
the first places you can utilize is the Center for Student Progress
(CSP). Semester after semester, returning students have found the
services of the CSP to provide the support, guidance, and services
needed to make the college transition successful. Beginning on your
first day of classes, you can benefit from the College Success
Place located in Kilcawley West (under the YSU Bookstore)!
Along with the CSP, there
are other departments and offices that want to make you feel at ease
during your first
semester back. To find out about these services and
where to go on campus, check out our online orientation program,
The
TRACK.
The TRACK provides a multi-media introduction of the campus resources. You can find
The TRACK located here.
