Any degree-seeking undergraduate student who attends, or plans to attend App State is eligible to apply. As-U-R admits incoming freshman, transfer students, and current students, depending on program capacity. When a student is admitted to As-U-R they are retained in our program until graduation.
Application Process
Students must be admitted to App State through the regular admissions process in order to be considered for As-U-R admission.
As-U-R accepts membership applications year-round and offers interviews for membership during Summer Break and Winter Break. Due to the small nature of the program, eligible students may not be assigned a mentor immediately, but they will be paired as soon as a mentor is available. These members will sbe permitted to utilize all other As-U-R resources, except As-U-R mentoring. Please contact As-U-R at asur@appstate.edu with any questions or concerns.
Applying to be an As-U-R Member is a 3-step process:
- Submit the Google Form Application using the "Apply Now" button below
- Meet with the Director or Assistant Director for an interview
- Take two online assessments (access given during interview)
Executive Function Challenges
As-U-R is an intensive student support program focused on supporting students with executive function challenges (EFCs). Skills related to academic success, such as organization, planning and setting priorities, getting started and completing tasks, monitoring progress on tasks, and decision-making are referred to as executive function skills.
Executive function challenges are defined as chronic difficulties in organizing, planning, and carrying out tasks and can make success in college-level academics much more difficult.
Some college students with EFCs may have previously been assessed for or even diagnosed with ADHD or a learning disability, but others may not, despite struggling with such tasks.
Schedule Interview Appointment
After you have submitted the Google Form application, please sign up for an interview on this Google Calendar.
Potential AsUR student interviews will be held via Zoom unless otherwise specified and last approximately 30- 45 minutes. As a reminder, while parents and family members often have valuable insight, the interview will be solely between the prospective student and AsUR staff.
Zoom links will be added to the Calendar invite after the appointment is made.
You do not need to prepare, but if knowing what to expect will be helpful, here are some resources for you.
We have the capacity to support approximately 100 students. In addition to our full-time staff, As-U-R has a team of graduate assistants that intensively support our student population.
For the 2023-2024 academic year, As-U-R is 100% free.
