Chapman Learning Community (CLC) is a residence hall-based academic program designed primarily for first-year students at Bowling Green State University. Chapman students take about half of their first year classes in common and work through the year developing their leadership, social and academic skills, as well as computer competencies. Believing that students learn best when their personal and academic lives are integrated, CLC provides members with opportunities to pursue intellectual endeavors in a residential setting. By living in a residence hall that also houses faculty offices, classrooms, large common rooms and computer facilities, students get to know their instructorsand each otherinside and outside of class. This unmatched opportunity leads to long-lasting, meaningful relationships that not only enhance learning, but also help individuals discover more about themselves.

The First Year Experience (FYE) Program assists with the new and challenging college environment that first-year students face. FYE supports a learning environment that extends throughout the year and allows for a variety of creative academic and co-curricular activities. Initiatives of the FYE program are directly related to enhancing the student's experience in and outside of the classroom. Through FYE programs, publications and services, first-year students can become more connected to BGSU and become more involved in their own learning.
The BG Effect mentoring program matches first-year students with University faculty and staff who are willing to help them make social and academic transitions. Many mentors have become integral parts of students' overall BGSU experience, lasting well beyond the first year of college. While we expect each mentor-student relationship to be unique, we offer guidelines and training for mentors so that the result is a mutually-rewarding experience.
The University Success Course (UNIV 100) is a two-credit hour course that serves as an introduction to higher education and an on-going orientation to BGSU resources, academic skills and social issues. It is designed to help new students adjust to college life and establish skills that will allow them to be successful at BGSU. Theme sections of the course are available that can serve as a vehicle for new students to increase the connection to their academic major or interest.

The Health Science Residential Community (HSRC) provides a residential environment for students majoring in any of the life/health sciences. Students do not need to be freshmen, although most are. Full-time academic advisers as well as undergraduate tutors share an office complex that also serves as a resource library for study materials and career placement information. Regular programs give students chances to explore their potential careers by talking with local health professionals.
303 University Hall, 372-8146.
The Language Laboratory serves the departments of Romance Languages and German, Russian and East Asian Languages as well as the ESL (English as a Second Language) program. It is primarily an audio laboratory, with some video capabilities, providing intensive practice in listening and audio-active recording. The tape programs are coordinated with the basic foreign language courses at BGSU.
Students use the open access laboratory as part of their course assignments, usually on an unscheduled basis. The laboratory is open 40 hours per week (Monday through Friday) during the academic terms. The language-trained staff assists students initially and monitors them while they do their assigned audio-lingual practice. The laboratory, however, is not a remedial or tutoring center. Foreign language placement advising sessions for entering students are conducted by the laboratory as part of the orientation and registration program.
