What can we do to help achieve your educational goals? The general theme seems to be offer more classes and in more disciplines. Twelve students responded. Here are the comments in their entirety.

Be understanding
Expand class availability as in science, biology, chemistry.
Advising
Develop relevant course of study. Career counseling. Continue rehab                curriculum at this location.
When people are new to the area/system they always feel alone and                confused. Working with people (to me) on a one on one basis                seems to untangle the new web.
House additional classes in my degree program.
Offer the courses on time.
Push me!
Offer more evening classes.
Allow me to keep attending.
Tutors.
Provide $ and more courses at the UNT Center @ Dallas.
