Academic Transition Programs for New and Continuing Students

Academic Transition Programs (ATP) provides academic and programmatic opportunities intended to support student success through a comprehensive, life-cycle oriented curriculum designed to guide students as they transition into, through, and out of their university experience. Dynamic seminars focus on timely, relevant topics aimed to foster personal and professional growth for all students. Students will start with a course during their first semester on campus and can engage with additional courses to help them thrive at every stage of their academic journey and beyond.
