She found it thanks to a new course being offered that helps students adjust to university life.\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/IMG_1093-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\" Lorraine Akisanya\" class=\"wp-image-371627\" style=\"width:200px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/IMG_1093-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/IMG_1093-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/IMG_1093-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/IMG_1093-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/IMG_1093-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lorraine Akisanya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is the best thing because it\u2019s a really quiet library. Scott library is massive, the biggest on campus, but it's also the most busy. Everybody goes to Scott library, right?\u201d the first-year information technology student said, adding since she discovered the space \u201cit has become my hiding spot because it\u2019s quiet, there\u2019s barely anybody there and it's just the best thing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The DLLL 1001: University Literacies and Belonging, helps bridges the gap between high school and university for transfer students, including many international students. It piloted with two classes, each in the fall and winter terms, capped at 25 students. The course, emphasizing academic and social support, was developed with a $100,000 ONCAT (Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer) grant. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>M.J. Maciel Jorge,<\/strong> associate dean, global and community engagement, said the Faculty of Liberal Arts &amp; Professional Studies (LA&amp;PS) had long aimed to create a course to better support transfer students. Environmental scans showed most institutions offered retreats, workshops, modules or not-for-credit courses.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTransferring from another institution can be a difficult process for students as they acclimate to their new institution and start anew,\u201d said Maciel Jorge. \u201cIt\u2019s very important to assist them in this transition and provide added value to their degree in the form of a for-credit course that counts towards their degree.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maciel Jorge said the course is as much about recruitment as it is about retention. \u201cWe want students and their parents to know that when they transfer to York, they can actually take a course that will provide them with the tools for success. That\u2019s what University Literacies and Belonging is all about. Students start off on the right foot, enabling them to progress confidently in their academic and personal growth.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mona Frial-Brown<\/strong>, director, student success, said the course helps students develop critical thinking, writing,&nbsp;note-taking, exam preparation and research skills. But, unlike other prep courses, this one offers&nbsp;academic credit and \u201cwrap-around student support\u201d by connecting students with campus resources.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akisanya, an international student from Nigeria, said this support is the course\u2019s most valuable part. She often guides friends to the Writing Centre or career services, acting as their \u201cGoogle Maps\u201d for York student services.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her class participated in scavenger hunts around campus to learn about resources such as the Scott Library. Akisanya believes she learned more about York\u2019s offerings in one course than she would have learned in four years of attending classes. The student services impressed her so much she made her final class presentation on that topic.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI didn't really understand the impact this course had on me,\u201d she said, adding that during her presentation she was \u201ctalking about how those services give us skills that we can apply, yes, in our academics but also after school. I spoke about life skills. And I got a little bit emotional because this class has really, really helped me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"374\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2019\/09\/Heejin-Song-e1569355751938.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268120\" style=\"width:159px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2019\/09\/Heejin-Song-e1569355751938.jpg 374w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2019\/09\/Heejin-Song-e1569355751938-289x400.jpg 289w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Heejin Song<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2268\" height=\"2270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/Jacqueline-Ng-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Jacqueline Ng\" class=\"wp-image-371625\" style=\"width:219px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/Jacqueline-Ng-edited.jpg 2268w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/Jacqueline-Ng-edited-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/Jacqueline-Ng-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/Jacqueline-Ng-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/Jacqueline-Ng-edited-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/Jacqueline-Ng-edited-2046x2048.jpg 2046w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/889\/2024\/12\/Jacqueline-Ng-edited-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2268px) 100vw, 2268px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jacqueline Ng<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Teaching this course are <strong>Jacqueline Ng<\/strong> and <strong>Heejin Song,<\/strong> associate professors in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, LA&amp;PS. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ng said most of these students identify as international, racialized, minoritized, or immigrants This creates a diverse population with various cultural identities, academic disciplines, English proficiency levels and academic skills, as well as a wide range in age.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome students, as you can imagine, are young adults. They are transitioning directly from Grade 12. Some students are mature, transferring or returning students. I have one student in my session who is a mom of two. She is picking up university learning after some time being a stay-at-home mom,\u201d said Ng.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ng and Song work to foster a sense of belonging for the students and&nbsp;\u201ccreate an inclusive learning environment where all students feel they are equally valued and included.\u201d It\u2019s a challenge in which they succeeded, said Akisanya.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis class made me feel comfortable. Because I was really anxious,\u201d Akisanya said. \u201cI was like, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I don't know how I'm going to fit in.
