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:
| Success Program Timeline | |
|---|---|
| February 1 | Initial Success Program offers are made-offers will continue to be made on a weekly basis to new applicants |
| April 1 | Recommended date for submission of Insight Resume and signed Agreement. These will be accepted after April 1 if space is available in the program. |
| Week Before Classes Begin | Attend the Pre-Semester Workshop |
As a reminder, students who have been invited to the Success Program need to complete two items to be admitted: the Insight Resume and the Learning Agreement. For questions about the admission process into the Success Program please contact Terri Shy at (660) 543-4911 or admit@ucmo.edu.
