¶¶ÒõÆƽâ°æ Strive4Success

When the admissions team identifies students who require additional academic support to begin college, they are admitted to Dean with the condition that they participate in Strive4Success (S4S).  This is a one-year, fee-based program which assists students with the transition to college (not an opt-in service).

Through weekly Academic Coaching, mentoring and study skills labs, S4S helps you adjust to the demands of college coursework while sharpening your academic skills. In addition, you’ll learn how to best manage your time while leveraging the academic resources needed to ensure academic success. You’ll work with Academic Coaches during your first semester to address academic strengths and challenges. S4S students are notified of their enrollment in the program through their admission letter to the College.
