Summer is usually a time to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, and spend time with family and friends, whether you go to beaches, lakes, reservoirs, and rivers for fun-filled water activities, a visit with relatives, travel, or relax in the comforts of your own home. It may be summertime, but, many people are still in college, which means it is still a bit of a challenge to plan a getaway. That doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun, while also getting through your summer courses. 

The year 2021 is flying by right before our eyes. As we move through spring and look ahead to the summer months, our students are continuing to stay focused in order to reach the goals they set for themselves this year. With hard work, dedication, and positive thinking, they are doing just that. This month’s UAGC #TenacityMade superstars are proof that it is possible to overcome challenges and achieve your aspirations!

The close of summer 2020 is here. It may have been a difficult few months, but thanks to your dedication and perseverance, you and your peers were able to push forward. This month’s #TenacityMade superstars demonstrate that no matter what obstacles stand in their way, they did not give up on their goals. 

Check out what our students and alumni have shared this past month, and then keep going to conquer your personal and educational goals throughout the rest of the year.

There is no age limit on taking pride in a job well done, and certainly no limit for accepting accolades from others. As children, we loved when our parents would celebrate our report card, as adults we love to hear the boss offer congratulations on a job well done, and as college students, we love to see our names on the University of Arizona Global Campus Dean’s List.

The annual tax-filing deadline can be stressful for college students and graduates. However, your tax preparer can assist you in seeing if you are eligible to take advantage of tax credits from your educational expenses.

In order to see if you qualify for these benefits, you must familiarize yourself with two key documents: the 1098-E Student Loan Interest Statement and the 1098-T Tuition Statement. Knowing what these forms are for and what to do with them is essential come tax time.

As anyone who's gone back to college after some time off will tell you, maximizing the number of credits you can transfer from your old school to your new one is an absolute must. It's a great way to save time, money, and effort, and it can give you a head start as you dive back into school. The University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) is committed to helping students maximize their approved transfer credits and get to graduation. That’s why we offer a variety of ways to earn traditional and non-traditional college credit.
