Here are some of the frequently asked questions by our students regarding UNIV 100:

Do I have to take UNIV 100?
Yes. UNIV 100 is a requirement for all first-time freshmen and first-time transfers with fewer than 24 semester hours. It is a great way to meet some of your fellow students.

Do I receive a grade for UNIV 100?
Yes. You will receive a letter grade for the class. Attendance and class participation are a big part of your grade.

Does UNIV 100 count towards my GPA hours?
Yes. UNIV 100 is worth one credit hour.

 Are there any assignments?
Yes. Just like any other class, you will have written assignments and quizzes. You will also participate in a service learning project. The service project coincides with Concord University’s mission of providing service to the regional community. The service project is often the part that students enjoy the most about the class! It is fun and educational, too.

What is the summer reading assignment?
Each year, students enrolled in UNIV 100 are required to complete the assigned summer reading – an interesting book chosen by the University community. Feel free to suggest a title for the next year’s summer reading! You will be doing a lot of reading as a Concord University student and we want to start you off over the summer with a positive reading experience.
 

Service learning is an important component of CU Foundations and Concord’s mission. CU Foundations students are required to participate in a community service project.
