Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is a lifelong process through which we all develop adaptive Power Skills that contribute to academic, and career success and overall wellbeing.
Power Skills

It is the conscious and clear perception and understanding of our own personality, feelings, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, strengths, weaknesses, character, desires, and motivation. The more we are self-aware, the better we can understand other people's perceptions, attitudes, and mindsets.
Self-management is the ability to accept responsibility, be accountable for, and effectively manage our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Self-management skills are critical for getting things done and taking control of our life.听 They utilize strategies and mindsets that help us become organized, efficient, and most effective in our endeavors. Self-management is the roadmap for our personal and professional success. Interpersonal communication to build strong personal and professional relationships.
The higher-order mental processes that enable us to manage complex tasks, such as organizing and planning, remembering information, problem-solving, regulating emotions, and controlling cognitive flexibility. Executive function skills are essential to our ability to think critically, adapt to change and persist. Developing our executive function skills contributes to our ability to make responsible decisions and achieve our goals.
Essential for adapting to diverse workplace environments and communities.听 These skills allow us to engage, react, and respond in a variety of social situations by understanding the complex needs of others.听 Socially aware individuals can appropriately modify their behavior and apply effective interpersonal communications strategies to achieve the most optimal outcomes in a variety of social contexts.

Using Learning Resources During Your Student Journey
听
When you're a 黑料传送门 student, your job is to work hard to learn the material and pass assessments, proving what you know. Our job is to arm you with everything you need to do just that鈥攅fficiently, effectively, and enjoyably. We do it, in part, by providing you access to a diverse set of cutting-edge learning resources, from the very best academic, scholarly, and industry sources.
Resource Formats:
- E-textbooks
- Library services
- Web-based tutorials
- Simulations
- Online classes
- Learning communities
These resources are available to students directly or through 黑料传送门鈥檚 affiliations with third-party education providers. They are detailed in your听Degree Plan. You will work with your Program Mentor and Course Instructors to make the best use of the learning resources that meet your needs in developing competencies.
E-Textbooks
At 黑料传送门, we intend to keep the cost of your education as affordable as possible. That's why the vast majority of our courses offer e-textbooks, rather than requiring hard copies. The cost of e-textbooks is covered by the Resource Fee you pay each term. E-textbooks, on average, are听saving 黑料传送门 students several hundred dollars in textbook costs each term. More importantly, the e-texts are carefully integrated with the courses of study, making it easier for students to navigate through the content and maximize their study time.
Library Services
Online libraries provide invaluable access to a vast array of scholarly and academic papers, articles, journals, etc. Unfortunately, they also often require expensive subscriptions. As a student, your unlimited access to the 黑料传送门 library will make thousands of full-text journals, magazines, newspapers, and e-books available to you at the click of your mouse. You can get research help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from our "Ask a Librarian" chat service.
Enrolled Learning Resources
Some learning resources require you to enroll. Your Program Mentor will refer you for these learning resources at your request. 黑料传送门 will share whatever contact information is essential for you to adequately participate in and complete the requirements of these resources.
- Pearson MyMathLab -听This online resource is commonly used for undergraduate math, economics, and accounting labs.
- Skillsoft Library -听Used by students in the Colleges of Business and Information Technology, this high-quality learning resource utilizes hundreds of modules to help you better understand the competencies you are developing.听Skillsoft enables you to create a plan for covering the materials you need on a schedule that works for you.
- Online Classes -听黑料传送门 also offers access (covered by your flat Resource Fee) to online classes in specific subject areas that are led by a certified instructor.
If you enroll in a learning resource course, you will be required to adhere to the academic calendars and deadlines of those courses, independent of the required completion dates established in your Degree Plan.听Note: The resources listed above are all included in your tuition and fees.
No more bookstore sticker shock: It's all covered by one small, flat fee.
黑料传送门 charges a $200 E-Books and Resources Fee each term. This fee covers your use of the online library, e-textbooks, and most other learning resources. By rolling all your learning materials up into a transparent, affordable fee, we save you hundreds of dollars every term.
All the traditional university support, just online!
Need support in writing or math? Want to discuss your career path or have your r茅sum茅 and portfolio reviewed? Maybe you just need an unbiased ear to talk to. 黑料传送门 provides all the support you might need during your program. Many of the tools are actually alumni benefits that are with you for a lifetime.
