The UMSL Link Program: Supporting degree seeking students beyond traditional resources.
The Link Program provides opportunity for success for every learner in every area of the higher education journey.

Support services are established through semester goal setting and regular weekly advising to promote success in four key pillars of university life.
The four pillars of support are Live | Learn | Work | Play

Live Support with navigating the physical campus, adapting to living away from home and immersion in campus culture and climate through peer mentorship and partnership with St Louis Arc. |
Learn Support for academic achievement through peer tutoring, weekly academic coaching, assistance accessing campus resources, and guidance from an academic advocate and liaison. |
|
Work Supportive vocational training, including skill building, real world experience and exploration with advisement fro on campus vocational advising and coaching. |
Play Supportive social inclusion and community engagement within UMSL’s campus and culture through peer mentorship and individualized social coaching |
Link Program access - After meeting general admissions requirements through the Office of Admissions, students will fill out an application and meet with Link Program staff to determine support needs and next steps
