The Undergraduate Education Center merged three advising units: the University Division (UD), which worked with traditional-aged students, the Adult Education Coordinating Center, which worked with nontraditional-aged students, and the University Access Center, which worked with under-prepared students. A component of what was then the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education, the UEC assumed the missions of its three component units with an overall charge to develop strategies for engaging students more deeply with learning and with the campus.
