Welcome to the Center for Access and Transition
at the University of Cincinnati

The Center is an academic unit designed to provide academic instruction and advising for undergraduate students who did not meet the criteria for direct admission to a UC baccalaureate program. The Center’s faculty provide specialized instruction in mathematics, writing, reading, oral communication and study skills, supplemented by academic tutoring.  Academic advisors provide intensive assistance to focus the student on academic skills necessary to reach his or her goal. The aim is to have students fulfill
requirements and develop their skills within one year, and then transition to a UC baccalaureate college. The Center for Access and Transition has established formal transition agreements with the UC Colleges of Arts & Sciences; Allied Health Sciences; Applied Science; Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services; Business; and Nursing.
