The Academic Advancement Program

 

Access, Opportunity, Achievement

Equipping Our Students for Academic Excellence

 

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is committed to creating an inclusive campus climate where all members of the campus community feel valued, respected and free to participate and achieve their highest academic and professional potential. For 40 years the Academic Advancement Program (AAP), a campus-wide academic support program, has been genuinely devoted to the retention of selected groups of students and enrichment of their academic experience at UW-Madison. Throughout these years, AAP has provided a wide range of services to hundreds of students that demonstrated high potential for success in our institution. Accessibility, college-readiness initiatives, academic support, guidance, encouragement to continue and the information and advice they need to make informed decisions about their academic career are just a few of the many offerings available to our students.

Our Academic Advising Staff, composed of Assistant Deans in the College of Letters and Science, is very proud of their relationships with faculty members, affiliated college deans and campus-wide student affairs personnel. Throughout our collaborative efforts, we are equipped to assist students with any challenges that may affect their academic progress and completion of degree requirements.

Student participants are expected to maintain their AAP membership until they reach their goal, and for most students that goal is graduation!  Application and entrance to the program is not limited to incoming freshmen. We welcome transfer and current students; all eligible undergraduate students are encouraged to apply.
