360 Program

Offering one-on-one support for your:
  • Academic transitions
  • Financial planning
  • Social engagement
  • Wellness
We're here to support successful transitions to college life and provide resources throughout your time at the University of Arkansas.

Who is eligible to join 360?

The 360 Program is currently by invitation only and serves first-year students who are first-generation college students and/or Federal Pell Grant recipients and have selected majors within the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences or the College of Education and Health Professions. 

What does the 360 Program include?

  • placement in a specialized University Perspectives course (UNIV 1001), 
  • an assigned 360 Program faculty advisor who will teach program participants in a University Perspectives course and meet with them regularly throughout their first year to aid them in their college transition and who will continue to serve as a resource for their success throughout their time at the U of A, 
  • an assigned 360 Program peer mentor who will meet with them in one-on-one and small group settings throughout their first semester to provide them with support from the perspective of a fellow student,  
  •  consideration for a scholarship intended to assist in covering the cost of their required textbooks. 
Two students sit at a table. One student is wearing a striped sweater and jeans and the other is wearing a cardigan and leggings. They have coffee and are smiling at something on their phone.

Why is it called 360?


Just as the university approaches its student success efforts in a comprehensive approach, the 360 program helps participating students in all aspects of their college experience, including academic, social, financial and wellness support.

FAQs

300 new students each Fall
By invitation only; students are identified and invited before New Student Orientation.
The 360 Program provides support in collaboration with existing services on campus, including faculty, financial aid advisors, housing, and more. While our 360 Instructors take on a coaching role, they serve as a supplement to your academic advisor who will guide you on course enrollment and degree completion.
Although the 360 Program does not accept new students through referrals, 360 instructors are a resource for all 360 students (including sophomores, juniors, and seniors). Please reach out if you think we can help support upper-level 360 students.
