About Access


The Ginsburg Center works with Student Academic Resource Center (SARC) and  Knights Major Exploration and Transition Center (KMETC), to coordinate and execute the Summer Bridge Access Program. These offices work together to promote student success and persistence for the Access Program, which proudly boasts a 97–100% retention rate yearly.

The University of Central Florida will be offering the Access 2024 Summer Program in a face-to-face modality   This means that all components of the Access Program will be held in person on the main UCF campus. There will be no option to participate in the Access Program virtually.

The Access Student:
