University Program for Academic Success (UPAS)

Marcos Rivera, Assistant Director
Tom Gorman, Academic Advisor

First-year students admitted to the University Program for Academic Success are offered the opportunity to enroll in college courses while receiving academic support that assists in making a successful transition to the University. Group and individual tutoring and comprehensive academic advising are among the services available to participants in the program. Admission is selective, but not as competitive as regular fall and spring admission. Participants register for approximately 15 credit hours that are carefully selected in consultation with a University advisor to provide the appropriate level of challenge.
