Opportunities for Academic Success in Studies (OASIS) Program

Go to information for Academic Center for Enrichment .

Coordinator: Ms. Denise Kovach

The program is designed for first year students who do not meet the standard admission criteria but whose secondary school records indicate potential for college success. Students are admitted to the OASIS Program during the fall semester of each year. Support programming is structured for the first year student. The required services include: peer tutorials; intensive academic counseling; basic personal, career and financial aid counseling; and study skills instruction. Students will sign an agreement that includes the expectations for program participation. Their participation will be monitored by the Academic Center for Enrichment. For students who are not participating in required parts of the OASIS program, attempts at communication and intervention with the student will result, including contact with parents. If those efforts are unsuccessful, the student will be withdrawn from all current courses, suspended from campus for the remainder of the semester, and required to apply for readmission to the University. Suspended students may be eligible for a partial refund; see the Financial Information  section for details. If an OASIS student achieves a semester quality point average of 3.00 or above for the Fall Semester of his or her first year, the student is no longer required to participate in the OASIS Program; at that point, the student may choose not to participate in tutoring or counseling services. A student who subsequently experiences academic uncertainty or difficulty is welcome to request further Academic Center for Enrichment services.
