Schedule for Success
Schedule for Success (S4S) is a comprehensive program designed to help students build a strong foundation and support system at the University of Arizona. Students are placed into S4S based on their chosen major and the score they receive on their ALEKS math placement exam. The program is designed to help students progress through their required math at the university level. Specific coursework, professional academic coaching, and individualized tutoring contribute to students’ success this year and beyond.
