The vision of the CRED program is to create a culture of life-long learning at UNT Dallas. The three goals that support this vision are the foundation of principals integrated into existing programs and resources to help build a culture where UNT Dallas students are self-motivated to pursue knowledge for professional success and are prepared graduated that employers seek in new hires. The three goals are: 1) students assess career options; 2) students test career expectations through direct exposure to workplace cultures; and 3) students evaluate strategies to maintain job-related effectiveness. Students participate in these goals at each level of their academic journey at UNT Dallas through career exploration activities, in-class assignments, experiential learning participation, and networking with community partners to practice job-attainment activities.

The Circle of Support is a partnership between Temple College and the Temple community to ensure no student drops out of college because of life barriers, including emergency expenses, child care, transportation, housing, and food. Students in need of assistance with non-academic issues can access the Circle of Support Resource Center in person, by phone, by email, or may opt to complete an online intake form. Once a request is received, a student can expect an initial response from the director within 24 hours. The reply will include referrals to community organizations that assist with the student's specific barrier, including mental health services, vaccinations, women's services, and help with utilities. In addition to connecting students to external resources, the Circle of Support offers in-house resources. Students needing emergency aid for expenses such as car repairs, unexpected medical expenses, and basic needs can receive help in two ways. First, supported by a faculty recommendation, a student can receive a one-time award of up to $300 to help offset emergency expenses through the Student Success Fund. Second, the student can apply for a no-interest Leopard Loan. Temple College recognizes that food insecurity is a serious concern that can interfere with academic performance and student success. Therefore, the Circle of Support Resource Center features an on-campus food pantry open to students and employees experiencing food insecurity. Aside from traditional canned and dry food products, shoppers may choose from various fresh proteins, dairy, and produce. Additionally, the pantry offers hygiene and cleaning products. Providing the students access to resources that address life barriers such as mental health needs, housing, childcare, emergency funds, and food insecurity speaks to Temple College's focus on student success and the importance of a holistic approach to serving students.

DREAMS Week (Dedication, Responsibility, Engagement, Academics, Motivation, and Success) is a zero week orientation program required of all new students and transfer students with less than 15 successful credit hours. The program began as part of Title V grant activities in 2021. The goal of the program is for students to feel comfortable in their environment, know how to access resources, be introduced to faculty and staff, and be engaged in student life activities while developing academic skills to be successful in college. Each activity falls under one of the target areas represented by the DREAMS acronym. The program covers use of technology, cultural diversity, financial literacy, team building, note taking and study skills, academic and organizational skills, career planning, clubs and organizations, campus tours, and non-academic support services. Student life activities are held throughout the days to help students become acclimated to their campus and engage with other students, faculty, and staff. The program utilizes student mentors to help new students identify people on their campus that can be a resource as they start college. Howard College history and tradition is also covered so that students can begin to understand and relate to being a Hawk. Students are asked to bring their laptop with them but are provided with needed supplies throughout the program. Students are required to stay throughout the day and lunch is provided.
