Matriculation is defined by the Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act of 2012 as "a process that brings a college and a student into an agreement for the purpose of achieving the student's educational goals and completing the student's course of study."
Course of study is the student's chosen educational program; major or area of emphasis; or course sequence for transfer preparation, career preparation or advancement, completion of basic skills, or English as a second language proficiency to achieve the student's education goal. The agreement involves the responsibilities of the college and student. Matriculation includes services to optimize students' opportunities to foster academic success.
Several matriculation resources to assist students in making decisions about their educational endeavors may be found within the
Counseling and Advisement Center website, including
guided self-placement,
orientation services and
follow-up services, as well as counseling, advising and other education planning services specific to a discipline or program.
