College of Undergraduate Studies

The Office of Orientation provides programs and services to all incoming undergraduate students and families at Nova Southeastern University. Our new student orientation programs provide the foundation for the NSU experience and support the successful matriculation, transition and acclimation of all undergraduate students as members of the community. The office also assists in the connection and engagement of commuter and transfer students through direct programming and outreach to make commuter students aware of campus resources to further ensure their student success, as well as their sense of belonging.

The Undergraduate Academic Advising Center (UAAC) provides comprehensive and developmental student support services to empower students to achieve academic success. The UAAC does this by guiding NSU students through the transition to college and throughout their higher education journey by building supportive relationships, fostering confidence, and serving as student advocates through empathic listening and reframing. In addition, the UAAC teaches students to identify, support, and understand university policies and processes. The UAAC provides an array of services including academic planning, academic preparation for graduate and professional schools, course sequencing/prerequisites, class registration, and dropping/withdrawing.

The Tutoring and Testing Center (TTC) supports the academic progress of all NSU undergraduate students on the main campus, at the regional campuses, and online. TTC provides supplemental learning assistance, as well as an array of testing services, in a supportive and professional environment that enhances the ability of all students to meet educational goals, achieve academic excellence, and enhance personal growth. TTC promotes active, independent learning that seeks to assist students in developing critical thinking skills. Programs and services include individualized tutoring in writing, math, and science, as well as supplemental instruction, MCAT mock exams, EyeQ speed reading software, course-specific solution manuals, and writing/grammar handouts.

Office of Career Development provides a supportive environment for NSU students and alumni to engage in individualized career exploration and planning that complements their academic experience and supports their professional goals. Undergraduate students, graduate students, professional students and alumni can meet with a Career Adviser for questions about major and career exploration, resume, interviewing and internship search guidance, internship and job fairs, graduate/professional school options and much more!

The office of Student Academic Services oversees the Dual Admission program, the Presidential Scholars program, academic standing, academic integrity, student administrative appeals, the undergraduate catalog, undergraduate commencement planning and undergraduate convocation.
