What Is SM������'s Acceptance Rate?

The SM������ onboarding process

After you join SM������ as a student, you’ll go through the onboarding process. For starters, you’ll need a computer and a reliable internet connection. While you can access some SM������ systems via your smartphone, you’ll need a laptop or desktop computer to complete your coursework. 

During the onboarding process, you’ll need to: 

• View the Student Toolbox

• Learn about financial aid

Student Resources for SM������

SM������ is primarily an online university, but that doesn’t mean you’re on your own. With well over 78,600 students enrolled in 2021, SM������ has plenty of resources for its students. 

All students have access to: 

• The SM������ online library 
• Tutoring for math and writing
• The Life Resource Center, which can help you balance school, life, and everything in between
• Student organizations for networking and professional growth
• to connect with alumni for one-on-one mentoring with someone who’s been in your shoes

If you ever have questions about your classes or need help with tech support, in-person help is available 20 hours a day, five days a week. You can get in touch with the University via phone, email, or chat, and online resources like the Help Center are always available to you 24/7/365.

The SM������ Counseling Skills Centers are also popular resources for students. These are educational training facilities that model mental health clinics. They offer pro-bono services from counseling graduate students to other SM������ students. Consult the Counseling Skills Centers for help with: 

• Mental health
• Career counseling
• Depression
• Grief
• Gender identity
• Anxiety
• Work-life balance
• Time management

You will also have access to individual counseling, family counseling, and marriage or couples counseling at select locations.

Plan How You’ll Learn

SM������ is highly attuned to the needs of adult learners. That’s why classes are available at a time and location that works best for you. Since 80.9 percent of SM������ students are employed while they’re in school, you’ll have the flexibility to keep up with your life and career while you study. 

However, before your first day of class, it’s a good idea to schedule coursework into your daily routine. With no need to commute, you have the freedom to learn where and when you want. Classes don’t last an entire semester either, so you can learn on a realistic schedule that works with your life. Take just one course at a time or take as many as five classes at once. With over ten start dates per year for most classes, you’re in the driver’s seat.
