SUCCEED Summer Bridge Program

Aug. 24–30, 2024

The SUCCEED Program is an innovative, summer-learning program designed to increase student retention and college readiness through workshops and resource exposure. SUCCEED students also participate in student academic success workshops and wraparound programming to include peer mentoring, cultural experiences, and service learning. A peer mentor will attend to student needs and work directly with students as assigned during the week-long program, which will host 50 students.

UW-Platteville’s SUCCEED program is designed to give you an opportunity to:

  • Get a head start on some fall academic courses 
  • Become familiar with the campus and resources 
  • Build friendships with fellow students
  • Move into your residence hall early
  • Pick up your textbooks early
  • Learn valuable skills (e.g., note-taking strategies, study tips, test-taking hints)
  • Leadership curriculum to develop a personal culture of success
  • Opportunity to earn a scholarship upon completion of the program

During the three-week program, SUCCEED participants start a minimum of two academic fall courses early. In addition, participants attend sessions designed to improve reading, writing, and math skills. Outside of the classroom, SUCCEED participants will enjoy multiple educational and social activities to enhance their university experience and meet new people.

Please note the tuition for the coursework is included in the regular fall tuition; during the SUCCEED Program participants' housing, meals, and SUCCEED activities are free.

The SUCCEED program begins on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, and ends on Friday, Aug. 30, 2024. SUCCEED participants will join the other new incoming freshman students for the UW-Platteville Welcome Weekend activities. Time commitments are not flexible during this program; you must attend all programs and activities during the entire week.
