Opportunities Initiative
Enhancing relationships between The University of Alabama and high school students with lower college attendance rates is a vital component of the Division of Opportunities, Connections and Success.
To help increase college persistence and graduation rates among these students, the Division of Opportunities, Connections and Success will provide resources and engagement among Alabama students and families. Working collaboratively with other UA offices, OCS works to expand and enhance the University’s existing academic support and services.
