ACHIEVE IS

a comprehensive, fee-for-service program of managerial, organizational, structural, and tutorial supports for students with learning differences.

Achieve has been an institutionalized part of the University for over 45 years, making it among the most well-established and respected programs in the country.  We are part of the University’s Office for Access & Accommodations which provides equal opportunity and access to appropriate accommodations for our students. Over 95% of Achieve students who engage in our services through their senior year graduate in four to five years. Over a third of Achieve students attain Dean’s List standing each semester.  We want you to be part of this tradition of success!  Start your application with us today!

Book a zoom consultation here to talk with us about how Achieve fits your individual academic goals and expectations.

We are now accepting applications for Fall 2024.
Applications for a fall start must be received and complete before the start of the fall semester.
