ACCESS Program

Access Program flyerThe Lincoln College ACCESS (Academy of Collegiate Collaboration for Effective Student Success) Program, a nationally recognized program, is designed to enable students with ADHD to access and succeed at the college level.  It is the intent of the ACCESS Program to provide supportive services from the Office for Disability Services to promote success for students who have a diagnosis of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. The following services are provided to students who participate in the ACCESS program:

  • ACCESS Prep program

    This is a five-day intensive course held the week before classes begin. The goal of the course is to prepare students to enter into the college curriculum. This is accomplished by building a supportive community with other students, attending academic skill building classes throughout the week, getting organized for the fall semester, and meeting one-on-one with an ACCESS coach.

  • Weekly meetings with an ACCESS Coach

    Students are assigned to an ACCESS Coach who will meet regularly with them throughout the semester.  The purpose of the coaching sessions is to aid students in their transition to college and to help students build self management skills.  This is accomplished by assisting students with goal-setting, study strategy techniques, time management and organizational skills and helping students to hold themselves accountable for their learning. 

  • Weekly follow-up reports to students and parents

    ACCESS coaches submit a follow-up report to students at the end of the week which reminds them of their weekly goals and their progress toward semester goals. In addition, the Coach sends weekly updates to the parents to inform them of their student’s progress.

  • Assistance with implementing ODS accommodations

The cost of the program is $2,250 each semester. Students can register for ACCESS at any point during their time at Lincoln College, and the cost will be prorated for students who enter into the program after the beginning of the semester.  To register for the program, students must first register with ODS and also submit the ACCESS Registration form.

If you would like to receive more information about the ACCESS program or be contacted in person by the Director of the ACCESS program or one of the ACCESS coaches, please complete the following information:
