The transition from high school to college is both exciting and challenging, and there are a number of campus resources that can help students with disabilities navigate this transition with success and confidence.

All students can benefit from the array of services offered by the Office of Academic Resources (OAR):

• Individualized, one-on-one academic coaching
• Workshops, seminars, and other events
• Online learning and study tools
• Peer tutoring
• Academic review centers

Students are encouraged to reach out to their Dean or to CAPS, especially if outside factors are impacting academic progress.
