Achieve Program
Achieve is
a comprehensive, fee-for-service program of managerial, organizational, structural, tutorial, and social support for students with learning differences. Achieve has been an institutionalized part of the University for nearly 50 years, making it among the country's most well-established and respected programs. We are part of the University’s Office for Access & Accommodations which provides equal opportunity and access to appropriate accommodations for our students. One third of students in the Achieve Program make the Dean's List each semester. Over 95% of our students are in academic good standing each semester. Our students stay on track to graduate in four to five years. We want you to be part of this tradition of success! Start your application with us today!
