The "Strategies for Success" program was created in collaboration with the Lee Pesky Learning Center to help students with language-based learning disabilities develop the skills needed for academic success.
Once a student enrolls in the program, they will meet with an educational specialist for one hour twice a week for one-on-one instruction. The sessions include instruction in the student’s learning deficit areas (such as dyslexia) and assistance with college course requirements. An educational assistance plan is constructed to address the deficit areas, which have been identified through testing. Progress is evaluated through pre- and post testing in addition to ongoing academic review. Communication with the student’s professors is an integral part of the educational assistance plan and is arranged as needed.
The Strategies for Success program is limited to 10 students per year and the costs are outlined as follows:

To maintain continuing student status, students must be continually enrolled with no interruption in terms unless a student files for a Leave of Absence. Up to two academic years (fall and winter/spring term) may be omitted if a student files a completed official Leave of Absence (LOA) form signed by:
When returning to Albertson College within the appropriate time frame, a student on an approved LOA will continue under the catalog and tuition rate in place (plus any increase) at the time the student left. If returning after the LOA expires, the student will be subject to the catalog and tuition rate active the year the student returns. Mail center key and all library books must be returned at time of leave of absence in order for LOA to be approved.
The non-academic student petition process is the vehicle by which students may petition for reimbursement of fees, waiver of the freshman residency requirement, or to be released from the Residence Hall Agreement. The Student Affairs Committee on an "as needed" basis reviews non-academic student petitions. However, in some instances, the committee may defer judgment to the Dean of Student Affairs. Non-academic student petitions are available in the Office of Student Affairs.
Students submitting non-academic petitions are responsible for providing any and all documentation requested to evaluate the petition. No action will be taken on a petition until the student has provided all necessary documentation and/or authorized the release of information.
