Mission Statement

The Academic Opportunity Center (AOC) educates and empowers a diverse group of students whose prior education and experiences may not have adequately prepared them for college, but who possess a commitment to higher learning. By doing so, we facilitate and support the academic growth of students and their transition and inclusion in university life.

Goals

• Provide students with an introduction to university life.
• Learn about and access campus resources such as the library, PASS, Norris Health Center, and Student Success Center.
• Assist students as they transition to their major.
• Provide intensive advising and instruction in foundation course work.
• Support existing learning communities for AOC students.
