Center for Access & Postsecondary Success (CAPS)
Formerly known as the Center for Academic Programs, CAPS increases access to higher education for high-potential students who come from underrepresented ethnic or economic backgrounds and/or are first-generation college students.
AAC assists students in attaining their academic and personal goals by providing a comprehensive, personalized array of programs, resources, and services which enhance skill development, effective decision-making, and personal transitions to and within the university setting.
First Year Programs & Learning Communities (FYP & LC)
FYP & LC assists students with their transition from high school to college and aids in the retention of students at the University of Connecticut.

LSAMP was launched to strengthen the preparation, representation, and success of historically under-represented students in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.
