History

For decades, the Pennsylvania Higher Education Equal Opportunity Program (also known as Act 101) has existed to remove barriers for historically underrepresented students. At Drexel, ACT 101 students are served in the Center for Inclusive Education and Scholarship, and we will work with you to provide comprehensive and integrated academic support with the goal of empowering your persistence to graduation.
