CAP = College Access Programs

Everyone's journey is unique and in addition to lifting your advising holds, we provide guidance, and the following services to help you plan your education journey and connect you to resources both on and off-campus.

To ensure you are on track and provide you with the support you may need, TRIO/CCP students are required to meet with their success coach a minimum of two meetings per term. We want to get to know you so feel free to schedule more!
