One of the most unique aspects of DC CAP is its Student Success program. Our primary goal is for students to graduate from college – so we provide students and their families with support every step of the way.

Student Success Coaches

After graduating from high school, all DC CAP Scholars begin their student success programming by participating in DC CAP’s Pre College-Seminar. The seminar is designed to provide students and their parents with information and resources that are critical to successful entry and completed of college.

A Student Success Coach is assigned to each student to assist them in navigating all aspects of college. Along with their Student Success Coach, some schools have an assigned DC CAP College Representative, a fellow college student from DC, who serves as an ambassador for DC CAP and provides additional resources and information to their peers.

Please note: office visits are by appointment only
