On September 1, 1997 the ARCHES Project officially started at Cal Poly Pomona!  ARCHES, an acronym for "Achievement, Retention & Commitment to Higher Education Success," is a newly funded grant project exclusively for students with disabilities at Cal Poly Pomona.

    Funded through the U.S. Department of Education TRIO Division, ARCHES was written in response to Cal Poly Pomona's growing need to provide more comprehensive services to its disabled student population.

ARCHES will provide enhanced services above and beyond the disability accommodations currently provided through the Office of Disabled Student Services (DSS).

    Students selected to participate with ARCHES will take part in weekly discussion groups which will allow them to discuss and explore topics and issues effecting persons with disabilities in the university and work environments.

ARCHES offers 150 students with disabilities a wide-range of enhanced services including:
 
Bullet Academic Advising

Bullet Study Skills Development

Bullet Specialized Tutorials

Bullet Weekly Discussion Groups

Bullet Priority Disabilities Assessment

Bullet Financial Aid and Scholarship Assistance

 

    Participation in ARCHES  is limited to 150 Cal Poly Pomona students each year.  Therefore, in order to have full consideration as a possible ARCHES participant, you should schedule an interview with the ARCHES staff and pick up an application as soon as possible.  Interviews may be scheduled by visiting the ARCHES office, in building 1 room 214, or by contacting the office by phone at (909) 869-2386.  Applications are available in the ARCHES or DSS offices.

 

    The ARCHES staff is committed to the continued academic success of students with disabilities at Cal Poly Pomona!  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact the staff:
