Path for Student Success

We are committed to removing barriers to student success so more Seawolves persist and complete their educational goals. The Community & Technical College (CTC) has created a “front door” for UAA with its recent reorganization around student success, including the Learning Commons, Writing Center and Math Emporium. We are planning so that by Fall 2018, tier 1 GER courses will shift from the College of Arts and Sciences to CTC. Along with this change, CTC will take on a new name: the University and Technical College (UTC), which reflects our commitment to being an open-access university with a renewed focus on student success. Read more about UAA’s implementation of the new UTC at UAA2020 or  here.
