Supporting All Cougs


Access to Education

The Office for Access & Opportunity supports services to assist first-generation, low-income, and/or otherwise underrepresented students in higher education. We are here to help improve the transition, persistence, and graduation outcomes for a diverse student population. 

We provide academic support and create a caring and engaged community. Our programs include peer and faculty mentoring, free tutoring, career and financial aid guidance, and evidence-based, culturally sensitive best practices that can both assist and inspire capable students, no matter what their background.
