Academy for Collegiate Excellence and Student Success (ACCESS)
Norfolk State
University's Academy for Collegiate Excellence and Student Success (ACCESS)
has been designed to prepare admitted freshmen for study at the
college-level. ACCESS participants normally demonstrate academic achievement
in high school, but have lower college examination (SAT/ACT) scores than are
required for regular admission. Through intensive course work in areas such
as communication skills and mathematics and through a required University
Orientation course that stresses study skills and adjustment to college,
these students are successful by the end of the freshman year.
Data on students participating in such programs
indicate that as a result of the extra attention and instruction that
participants receive, their persistence rate at the University is equal to
or higher than that of other freshmen. For more information, contact the
Director of ACCESS studies. 757-823-8507

PASSport
The Partnership For Academic And Student Success (PASSport)
Norfolk State University (NSU) and Tidewater Community College (TCC), in a
historic and unique partnership, have created The Partnership for Academic
and Student Success (PASSport) to help students who want to attend NSU
become more academically prepared for collegiate work before enrolling at
NSU. The purpose of the program is to permit promising students to get into
college and stay in even though they do not at first fully qualify for
enrollment at NSU.
NSU applicants who do not meet the admissions requirements of the University
but who qualify for the PASSport program are offered the opportunity to
enroll at TCC. The PASSport Program at TCC is specifically designed to
prepare students to meet the academic requirements of NSU. Once students
perform successfully at TCC, they are admitted to NSU. Equivalent program
credits at TCC will transfer to NSU.
The Selection Process
Selection for the Passport Program is based on
performance in high school and SAT/ACT scores. Students who qualify for the
program take carefully selected courses at TCC which are tailored
specifically to the student's academic needs.
Eligible students are mailed a selection letter from NSU. Interested
students should call TCC's Information Center for an information packet.
This packet will outline the steps for enrollment in the program at TCC.
