In addition to the EAGLE Academy courses, students will also take inclusive courses alongside degree seeking students. Students will work with EAGLE Academy staff to determine the appropriate courses based on the student career goals. Students will be able to decide if they wish to receive college credit or audit the inclusive courses.
Students are supported in their inclusive courses. EAGLE Academy staff communicate with professors and provide them with accommodations. Peer Mentors join EAGLE Academy students in their inclusive courses to support the needs of our students. EAGLE Academy students will have the opportunity to complete coursework during the week by working with their Peer Mentors throughout the week.
