SLS 1410: FAU iSucceed

Offered in the Summer and Spring

  • All first-year students who are starting in one of FAU’s Summer Programs or in spring will take FAU iSucceed (SLS 1410).

This self-paced course introduces you to FAU offices and services, helps you find the strategies that lead to success in your courses, and introduces you to skills that will ease your transition to college. 
  • Please note, previous exposure to a non-FAU SLS course will not wave this requirement.
  • Students who have taken this course describe their experience as boosting their confidence, increasing their comfort in navigating FAU virtually and in-person, and introducing them to new study strategies that they could put to use immediately. 
  • Most are able to complete the work in 30-60 minutes per week.
