It Works!
- 92% of participants would recommend the First-Year Academic Success Program to other students.
- An 89% pass rate for writing courses and an 88% pass rate for math courses. These are both higher than the average pass rates during the academic year.
- Additionally, 97% of the FYAS students passed their math and/or writing classes in the Autumn Quarter following the program.
"The First-Year Academic Success program is a complimentary opportunity. It is a program that not only helps you academically, but strengthens your self-improvement. If you can give up five weeks of your summer, the outcome is so much greater than the free-time invested. The program eases you into college classes, so that come Autumn you're at the top of your game."
