UConn's Center for Access and Postsecondary Success (CAPS) College Program jump-starts University life for incoming first-year students who are first-generation to college and from underserved populations. This intensive five-week program prepares admitted students for academic rigor at UConn, supports their transition from high school to college, and sets the foundation for their collegiate success. Participants enroll in two University courses for which they can earn up to eight credits. Successful completion of the program is required for students to matriculate in the fall. CAPS services continue throughout a student's college career and include peer tutoring and mentoring, holistic advising, and unique opportunities such as study abroad. CAPS Summer Program is offered at all UConn campuses.
