MIT’s Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming (UAAP) sets a standard of excellence in providing quality, student-centered services to all undergraduates, and specifically to freshmen, to significantly enhance their academic success, social adjustment and assimilation to the Institute. To achieve that vision, the UAAP provides programming, access to Institute resources and services that recognize the many needs, diversity and uniqueness of students at the Institute. This office is responsible for all freshman programming including Advanced Placement/Transfer Credit processing, Orientation, Academic Advising (including Residence-based Advising), Major Exploration programming, Sophomore Transition Initiatives, Learning Strategies and other academic support. Additionally, the management, operation and oversight of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is a UAAP responsibility, as well as coordination of the Independent Activities Period (IAP), and staff support to the Committee on Academic Performance (CAP).

• UAAP is leading development of the Holistic Student Experience initiative, one of the priorities identified in the DUE’s Strategic Plan. This theme is intended to articulate a holistic approach to the education of our students, setting the standard for undergraduate academic advising and mentorship, and defining collaborative initiatives and programs for student leadership development.
