USC joins coalition to improve admissions process

COLUMBIA, SC – The University of South Carolina is among a diverse coalition of public and private colleges and universities coming together with the goal of improving the college admission application process for all students. The coalition is developing a free platform of online tools to streamline the experience of planning for and applying to college. The initial iteration of the planning tools will be available in January 2016 to freshmen, sophomores and juniors in high school. The online application will be available in summer 2016 for students applying for fall 2017 admission.

The Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success currently includes more than 80 public and private universities and colleges across the United States that have made a commitment to make college accessible for students from diverse backgrounds, and for students to be successful in completing their education.
