FVSU Expanded efforts to identify needs and increase access to FVSU programs and degree completion for adults returning to college, active military, and current student veterans to include creating additional assessment, planning, and intentional programs and services as needed.

The Pre-College Academy is designed to assist in the transition from high school and college. Students formerly rejected for admission to FVSU, but who met the program’s  minimum criteria, were invited to attend a five-week, intensive program designed to fortify their skills in reading, writing, and mathematics at Pre-College Academy.  Based on their successful completion of this program, they were admitted to the University the following semester.
