What is the Accelerated Transfer Academy (ATA)?
The Accelerated Transfer Academy is supported by a Title V grant awarded by the U.S.
Department of Education's Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (DHSI) Program.
The ATA program is aimed at ensuring that transfer students have all the support they
need to persist and graduate. Students can look forward to a holistic support system
and financial incentives through book vouchers and scholarship opportunities as they
pursue their degree at UHD.
The program is comprised of three main components:
- Academic Support
- Student Engagement & Community Building
- Career Exploration
ATA is designed to create a smooth transition for students transferring into UHD. The goal is to provide transfer students with a transformative educational experience by implementing a collection of high-impact strategies and practices that will prepare them for both academic and career success. On average, students in the ATA program earn a higher GPA and earn more credit hours in their first semester than other new transfer students. Our students are also more likely to re-enroll at UHD for a second year than other similar new transfer students.
Eligibility:
- New, continuing, and returning transfer students at UHD who transferred with at least 45 earned transfer credit hours
- Must be enrolled full-time at UHD (at least 12 credit hours) each semester
- Earn a minimum of 6 points each semester through ATA engagement activities to maintain
a book voucher
