The program builds on the talent of entering students to advance their academic performance. The program reinforces academic discipline and motivation through peer support of academics. Program evaluations indicate that first year TAP students adjust to the University and tend to do better academically than the general first year student population. As is common admissions policy, we invite more students than we have spaces for because a number of invitees will decide to attend another institution. We fill spaces on a first-come basis and maintain a wait list of overflow students.
Experience shows that most people on the wait list are accepted into the program.
March 9 is the TAP deadline and May 1 is the University enrollment deposit deadline. If the University does not receive your enrollment deposit by May 1, your name will be removed from the program list. Please use the list to contact and become acquainted with as many people as you wish. Students do not need to attend the same orientation session in order to sign up as roommates.
