College Academy for Parents
What is College Academy for Parents?
"Going to College is a family plan"
College Academy for Parents (CAP) is a FREE college preparation program defined by the belief that informed parents can be the best advocates for their child's success in entering college. The earlier a student and their family begin to prepare and understand the college preparation process, the more likely they will be to successfully enter a four-year university.

- Workshops that engage parents with college knowledge and UA faculty members.
- College camp provides activities for students K-12th grade coupled with messages encouraging college aspirations.
- Campus visits focused on Math, Science, Language, Arts, & Culture.
