University of Dayton (Ohio): FIRST Program - Fully Integrated Resource Support
and Transition Program & ARCC - Academic Renewal Course and Academic
Coaching Program
Students Served by the Program
The First Program and the ARCC course with academic coaching are available for all
students who may benefit. This includes students with Learning Disabilities and ADHD.
Program Description / Mission
FIRST Program: The program centers on a 2 credit class called The Art & Science of
Learning in which students learn study skills, self management and time management
techniques as they study about the brain and how it works. The course is offered in the
fall semester each year, primarily for entering first year students who the Admissions
Department feels may benefit. We usually have some seats available to other first year
students who would like to take the course.
ARCC: Academic Renewal Course with Academic Coaching Program: The ARCC
course is offered every semester, primarily for students on academic probation at the
end of the previous semester; such students are usually assigned to the course by their
academic Dean. We usually have seats available to other students who would like to
take the course. ARCC is a 1 credit course that meets twice a week for the first half of
the semester and focuses on helping students understand themselves as a learner and
learn useful study and time management techniques. During the second half of the
semester, ARCC students meet one-on-one with the instructor for weekly academic
coaching sessions geared to each student’s specific needs. (Students in FIRST can
take this course after The Art & Science of Learning if they want to continue to work
closely with an instructor.)
Key Services
FIRST: The Art & Science of Learning allows a small group of students (sections are
capped at 12) to work closely with an instructor during their first semester to explore
what we know about how brains learn and how that applies to them. This is not a lecture
course. Instructors use active learning techniques to get students actively involved
during class—talking to each other, illustrating and explaining concepts, applying ideas
and techniques in ways that make sense to each of them and then sharing their work
with the others in the class. Students in the class say that all entering first year students
should take it!
ARCC: The ARCC course is about guided self-discovery and (re)building confidence in
one’s ability to succeed at the university. This is not a lecture course. Students
participate actively in every class as they explore their own approaches to learning and
techniques that might be new to them. And they can use the individual coaching
sessions to work on any aspects of their academic life where they feel they need help.
Additional Information

Resources at the University of Dayton provides individual consultations, disability

for Effective Student Success
Students Served by the Program
The program was primarily established for students with ADHD, however there are
students who participate in the program who carry a diagnosis other than ADHD, but
who have weaknesses or limitations in their executive functioning.
Program Description / Mission
The ACCESS Program follows the social model of disability wherein students are
offered opportunities to compensate for their disability with appropriate
strategies. This model promotes increased self-efficacy for students as they are
encouraged to pursue their strengths while having the support of an ACCESS Coach to
guide them and assist with areas that continue to be weaknesses. Lincoln College is a
very unique institution, with two campuses offering Associates and Bachelors
degrees. The ACCESS program is housed on our Lincoln campus, which is the only
private, 2-year institution in the state of Illinois. The college itself provides an

student-to-faculty ratio and students can receive more individualized attention.

self management skills. This is accomplished by assisting students with goalsetting, study strategies, time management and organizational skills, and guiding
students toward becoming independent learners.
ACCESS Prep: This is a five day intensive seminar held the week before classes
begin. The goal of the seminar is to prepare students to enter into the college
curriculum, which is accomplished by building a supportive community with other
students, attending academic skill building classes throughout the week, getting
organized for the fall semester, and meeting 1-on1 with an ACCESS coach.
First Year Experience Course: ACCESS students are encouraged to enroll in a
section of First Year Experience (FYE) during the fall semester that is taught by
the Director of the ACCESS program. Enrollment in this section of FYE is limited
only to students who participate in ACCESS, and will build upon the information
discussed during ACCESS Prep. Students earn 1 credit hour toward their degree
for successful completion of FYE.
Weekly follow-up reports: ACCESS coaches contact the student’s parent(s) at
least once a week to inform them of the student’s progress. Parents are able to
contact their student’s ACCESS Coach at any time for additional assistance or
guidance throughout the semester.

Students Served by the Program
Students who have learning differences such as learning disabilities, ADHD, or other

Program Description / Mission
Initiated in 1983, the Muskingum University PLUS Program provides quality academic
support for Muskingum students with learning differences, thus continuing a tradition of
individual attention to all students that is reflective of the University mission. By
providing appropriate support and structure to meet the academic needs of qualified
students, it stands to reason that the possibility of student success is enhanced. Some
students with learning differences may not meet the normal admissions standards but
may show promise for successfully participating in college. Therefore, part of the
mission is to admit such students and provide the structured and specialized academic
support of the PLUS Program, thereby providing opportunity for these students to have
a successful higher education experience. The PLUS Program encourages individual
fulfillment by assisting students in uncovering their unique strengths and passions,
reinforcing self-confidence and building life-long learning skills. As students begin to
know and value themselves as learners, they develop self-awareness, selfmanagement and self-advocacy skills, so they are better equipped to reach their whole
person potential. An Embedded Learning Strategy instruction model that is blended with
a Learning Conversation approach provides the foundation for students to develop
critical thinking, positive action, ethical sensitivity and spiritual growth, which fosters
students' potential to lead personally satisfying, socially responsible and vocationally
productive lives. Muskingum University’s caring community is extended as PLUS
Program services are offered within an environment that is knowledgeable and
appreciative of learning differences and how they uniquely manifest and effect each
student. Respect for human dignity is a deep-rooted value in the PLUS Program, which
