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 thatn 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 enroll at UHD at least part-time (6 credit hours) each semester
  • Earn a minimum of 6 points each semester through ATA engagement activities to maintain a book voucher.
    ($250 for F/T students; $125 for P/T students).
