The Office of University Access Programs (UAP) is responsible for the stewardship of crucial programs and services that increase the access and academic success of first-generation, lower-wealth, and students historically underrepresented in higher education.

These programs include the Southern Educational Opportunity Program (SEOP), Southern Promise Scholars from New Haven, Waterbury, and Hartford, Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) from New Haven, Waterbury, and East Hartford, Promoting Academically Successful Students (PASS), Connecticut College Access Programs (ConnCAP), Pathways to Academic and Career Empowerment (PACE), and TheDream.US Scholars. In addition, UAP works in eight strategic areas to increase enrollment, academic performance, and graduation rates of students from historically marginalized communities.
