Collegiate Academic Support Program (CASP)
CASP promotes the academic and personal growth of traditionally underrepresented and underserved students by providing purposeful and holistic services within an environment that celebrates diversity, inclusiveness and community.
CASP is available to all students and provides:
- an early awareness that a college degree is possible
- a support system to maintain motivation for college, academic achievement, and personal standards for success during college years
- referrals to one-on-one and small group instruction in writing, mathematics and science
- life skills and academic coaching
- assistance in locating community resources for basic need
Support Resources
Students who enroll in CASP are required to utilize academic support resources on campus, including:
