What is the Reach Program?

The Reach Program was established in 1969.听 It is an alternative admission program designed for students who fall just outside the 鈥榬egular admission鈥 standards.听 The Reach Program is committed to offering students the opportunity to participate in higher education.

  • Students are selected based on Academic GPA in their 鈥渃ore classes鈥, ACT/SAT scores, Letters of Recommendation and Student Goal Statements.
  • Experienced Advisors serve as mentors and advocates who offer students: encouragement, advice, class registration guidance, and join with them in celebrating their many successes.
  • Advisors partner with students to guide, support and impact their experience as they navigate the first year of college.

There is no separate application for the Reach Program.听 Please see details at the Office of Admission website.

4. Consult with your Reach advisor before dropping/adding a class or changing your major.

Reach advisors want to ensure that your time to graduation is not impacted by any schedule changes made. The Reach advisor is taking multiple factors into consideration such as pre-requisite requirements for future classes, how often a course is offered, etc. It is important that Reach students consult with their Reach advisor before making any schedule changes to ensure they are not jeopardizing听their academic progress or fall below full-time student status.

5. Create a personalized involvement plan with Reach advisor focused around connecting to 澳门六合彩历史记录听 co-curricular activities.

Getting involved in campus is an important part of the college experience. Yet, it is important that students are able to balance their involvement with their academic responsibilities. Reach students can explore with their Reach advisor various ways to get involved on campus while working on developing organizational skills and time management.听

6. Register, attend, and participate in University 100 during your first semester of attendance.
