University Seminar is designed to help students with the transition to college and to integrate students fully into the academic, spiritual and social realms of the university. It is required of all students matriculating from high school, or transfers with fewer than 22 hours that count toward an ACU degree.

U100 Seminar classes meet twice a week in class and include about 22 students and a Peer Leader. The University Seminar instructor also serves as the academic advisor during the summer and fall of the initial year. University Seminars help build community, provide academic and personal advice, introduce students to the campus and local culture, explore ACU's Christian mission and heritage, teach study and interpersonal skills, and help students confirm or decide on a major. Students are assigned to a University Seminar when they register for Passport.
