The Success Program

Each year, UCM admits a limited number of students who show that they can benefit from attendance in a university environment through our Success Program.

The Success Program is highly structured program that involves enrollment in a Learning Community designed for first semester success, participation in a week long Summer Workshop the week prior to school and a learning agreement outlining other requirements to remain in good standing at the university.

Those applicants with a ACT score of 17 or above and a high school GPA above 2.5 will be given initial consideration to the Success Program. Applicants who do not meet these requirements will be reviewed on an individual basis. The strength of the curriculum taken within the context of the high school attended will be considered in this process. For students invoted to apply for the Success Program, the following is a timeline of events:
