Lake Campus
Services
Specific services are available at the Lake Campus in the following areas.
Admission, Registration, and Fees
The staff at the Lake Campus can help students complete the application
for admission. Lake Campus staff can also accept registrations for
any Wright State University class and process
the collection of student fees.
Financial Aid
Any individual interested in obtaining a college education should not
fail to apply because of financial limitations. There are many forms
of financial assistance available to deserving students whose personal
and family financial resources are insufficient to meet their educational
expenses.
For complete information, be sure to contact the financial aid officer
at the Lake Campus. Counselors are available to discuss your situation
and the various possibilities for financial assistance.
Scholarships
The Lake Campus provides numerous scholarships for both high school
seniors and continuing students. The scholarships are awarded on both
academic and need-based criteria. Students apply by filling out a Lake
Campus Scholarship application. Awards range from a $200 book scholarship
to full tuition. Inquire at the Lake Campus Financial Aid Office.
Counseling and Testing
Professional counseling is provided free of charge to Lake Campus students.
This service includes evaluation of personal interests, abilities, needs,
and values; placement and aptitude testing; help in selecting careers;
counseling for personal problems; and aid in developing desirable
personal traits such as getting along with others, assertiveness, and
self-discipline. Services are
by appointment. Although counseling and testing
are available to everyone, freshman students are especially urged to
use these benefits so they can begin planning early for their career
development.
Academic Advising
Academic advising is provided to all Lake Campus students. Through this
service, students can get advice in planning the schedule of courses
they will take during their college career. Students must consider General
Education requirements, classes
in specialized fields, courses that must be taken in sequence, and electives.
The academic advisor recommends that students plan their quarterly schedules
according to their chosen career objective so they will have the necessary
credit hours in
the appropriate classes to obtain their degrees.
Incoming freshmen students must meet with an academic advisor.
Tutoring
The Lake Campus makes every effort to help students who experience academic
difficulty. In addition to counseling to improve study skills, tutoring
in English, reading, mathematics, and
most other subject areas is provided.
Academic and Instructional Services
The Office of Academic and Instructional Services maintains computer
software packages and audiovisual materials that allow students to improve
basic skills and give advanced students a means to progress more rapidly
in certain subjects or skills. The center also provides services such
as tutoring and independent or individualized study in conjunction with
another department or through
the AIS itself. These services are available to any Lake Campus student.
Such services may include test proctoring, counseling, tutoring, and
note taking. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the
AIS for supplemental services.
Job Placement
The Lake Campus assists graduates in locating suitable employment. Employers
frequently contact the Lake Campus for their hiring needs, and a job
board is maintained.
Library
A vital part of the Lake Campus is the library. The Lake Campus library
is a full-service facility offering full text versions of over 2800
journals,
100 databases, and access to 30 million books via OhioLINK. The library
has over 30,000 volumes on hand and can obtain interlibrary loans from
over 4,000 libraries in the United States.
Veterans’ Services
The staff in the Office of the Registrar at
the Lake Campus will help qualifying individuals prepare the necessary
forms, and will follow through with the regional Veterans Administration
office to ensure that students receive their VA benefits.
Bookstore
The Cottage Bookstore is operated by Wright State for the convenience
of Lake Campus students, providing textbooks, academic supplies, WSU
apparel, and gifts.
