TSU extends One Stop Shop to assist students

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University extends the One Stop Shop days to help students who still need to enroll for the fall semester. The extension comes following two weeks of successfully assisting nearly 2,000 students through One Stop Shop. Located in the Kean Hall Gymnasium, students received services ranging from financial aid, course advisement, student IDs, meal plans, housing, and more in one convenient place. The extended dates are August 26-28, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This extension aims to provide students with the opportunity to complete essential tasks for the new academic year, all in one convenient location. Dr. Curtis Johnson, Vice President for Administration and Chief of Staff, underscores the significance of this service and its extension.

“We want to make sure that the students who need assistance are able to receive that assistance as conveniently as possible,” Johnson said. “We decided it is in the best interest of the students to provide this service during the duration of registration.”

Students have until August 29 to register and enroll for the current fall semester.

“We don’t want students to have to run from department to department to get their business taken care of. That’s why we’re keeping the One Stop Shop extended and centrally located,” Johnson added.

The One Stop Shop has assisted students like TSU freshman Mariah Ard of Oak Ridge, TN, who attended to get advisement assistance.

“I went over to the advisement team to get my classes taken care of,” said Ard, who is studying architecture engineering. “He (TSU faculty) helped me reset my password, and now everything is all set. I am ready to go to class and be very successful.”

Collier Smith of Memphis, a junior studying criminal justice, visited the One Stop Shop several times throughout the week to utilize multiple services. “I’ve been coming to the One Stop Shop since Monday,” Smith said. “I’ve gotten a lot of stuff handled. One thing I can say is, it’s been a success so far.”

Johnson noted that the most requested services initially included parking decals and ID badges, but later shifted to financial aid and advisement.

As the fall semester has begun, Tennessee State University encourages all students to take advantage of the extended One Stop Shop dates.
