Admission to Saint Louis University is just the start. After beginning classwork, many students discover more obstacles to success than they anticipated. If you think you might benefit from support and accountability to change your study habits, we're committed to helping you improve your grades.
Blueprint for Success is a free student-success series designed to help you develop effective strategies to maximize your academic potential. As part of a small group, you will be guided through five 75-minute sessions to unlock the mysteries of managing time, finding motivation and gaining confidence in your academic abilities. Throughout the series, you will have peers and a professional staff member for support. This program counts as a Cura Personalis 2 experience opportunity for the University Undergraduate Core.
Benefits of Blueprint for Success Groups
Previous participants of the Blueprint for Success program reported that their semester GPAs increased by nearly a full point at the end of the semester.
In addition to a boost in their GPA, students also reported in an end-of-program evaluation that the groups helped them to:
- Identify the available resources to help them achieve goals
- Identify strategies to improve their study skills
- Increase confidence in their ability to set and achieve goals
Most importantly, 100% of the students who completed the end-of-program evaluation reported that they could identify individuals in their lives who support their academic goals. Members of your Blueprint for Success group are a support for you as you navigate the spring semester.
