What is the ACCESS Orientation Program?
During the ACCESS Orientation Program, students and their parents receive financial aid assistance including FAFSA information, residence life information, placement testing results, academic advisement, and career counseling. Additionally, students participate in cultural activities, workshops, and seminars including topics such as college transition, conflict resolution, study skills, and test-taking strategies. Morgan offers four one-week ACCESS Orientation Program for a maximum of 250 students per session in order to accommodate at least 1,000 first-time freshmen during the month of July. The ACCESS Orientation Program pledges to increase access to college for a diverse student population, prepare students for their college matriculation, provide a head start for students on the path to academic success, and increase the retention and graduation rates of all undergraduate students by means of "frontloading" critical resources for first-time, full-time freshmen.
