The Great Start Program (GSP) is a supportive, one-year program designed for alternatively-admitted, first-year students to help them successfully transition from high school to college, build a strong academic foundation, and tap into their full potential at UM. The main feature of this program is SUPPORT - academically, emotionally, and socially. Great Start students receive one-on-one assistance throughout their first semester on adjusting to their college classes, adjusting to college life, and creating an academic plan of success. Throughout the year, academic workshops and events are held to help students improve in the classroom and to connect outside of the classroom, building friendships and forming a network of support.
