The Academic Advancement Center has served over 6,500 students on the CSU campus since its arrival on campus in 1978. The mission is to help low-income, first-generation college students, foster youth, and students with disabilities to persist in college and graduate with a baccalaureate degree. Each year approximately 8,000 Colorado State students, who are from low income and/or first generation backgrounds or are students with disabilities, have the opportunity to receive services from the Academic Advancement Center. You facilitate our mission of helping students succeed academically and graduate with a degree from Colorado State University.
