Our mission is to encompass and connect the academic achievement, personal strengths, values, goals, and faith for each student in the Keystone program.

To achieve this mission, the Center for Academic Success (CAS) puts together an individualized academic plan for each student for the first year. What makes this plan work? We start by defining a student’s need. We work with the students, parents and the academic community to develop a roadmap for success. It is a partnership that can begin during the admission process and continues through the first year of the student’s enrollment. It is our goal to provide a smooth transition from the high school classroom to the college environment by giving our students support and accountability in navigating through the freshman year.

• The Keystone process may be started after a student has completed and submitted The Â鶹ÊÓƵ University Applications for Undergraduate Admissions and Scholarship Assistance, applicable transcripts, and national testing scores (ACT, SAT or CLT).
• After the student’s application, transcripts, and testing scores have been received and accepted for admission, the student should contact his or her Enrollment Counselor for the next steps in the Keystone application process. A completed Keystone Information Form with signatures of both the student and a parent will secure your space in the Keystone Program for the upcoming year.
• Students accepted to the Keystone Program are encouraged to submit their $200.00 tuition deposit to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions as soon as possible.
• When deposits have been made, the student will be notified of Summer Orientation Keystone Sessions that will occur at summer registration in June.
• The Keystone program is for the entire freshman academic year. However, the Center for Academic Success will continue to give assistance and support informally to our Keystone students and graduates as needed.
