SOS-Launchpad was created to serve all incoming main campus students. Housed in Desire 2 Learn (D2L), students have the opportunity to complete modules designed to help reinforce materials they learned at Arizona New Student Orientation, as well as information identified as being vital to their success as they transition to campus.

Topics include: How to be a successful student, the importance of asking for help, how to manage university services, and why Tucson is a great place to live. Throughout Arizona Launchpad we interwove resources to help students find belonging on campus, and to encourage a growth mindset.

Overarching Ideas

• Students know it is okay to ask for help
• Students know what supports are available to them
• Students know how to read a syllabus
• Students can physically navigate campus
• Students can navigate UAccess and D2L successfully
• Students can identify resources for engagement, career preparedness and exploration
• Students know who their advisor is and how to contact them
• Students understand Arizona is a diverse community
• Students understand their financial obligations to the university.

Students are encouraged to complete assignments, participate in discussion boards, and take quizzes to earn prizes.
