1L Academic Success Program

The Academic Success Program (ASP) complements the first year law school curriculum by helping students develop the academic and analytical skills necessary to succeed in law school. This program is based on eligibility criteria guidelines established by the faculty of the law school. Spring semester eligibility is adjusted based on Fall academic performance. Students will be notified if they are selected for the program. However, students may contact APD with questions about the program or eligibility.

• Study Sessions: ASP’s study sessions are designed to simulate the student in his or her analysis and processing of the law. ASP eligible students are invited to participate in these study sessions. The sessions are facilitated by upper-division students called APD Fellows.

• ASP Office Hours: ASP students have access to advising appointments with APD faculty members who can provide guidance on law school strategy and resources, navigating the law school experience, and succeeding on law school exams. Sign- ups for office hours are administered through TWEN.

• Additionally, ASP students may use the Resource Center and are highly encouraged to attend the 1L Seminars & Workshops and 1L Practice Exams. See the APD Materials & Resources page for schedules.
