The Michigan Assured Admission Pact aims to streamline the college admissions process, boost enrollment, and help students realize their full education potential. Participating MAAP universities assure admission to any Michigan high school graduate who has earned a cumulative high school grade point average of 3.0 or above (on a 4.0 scale). The goal of the MAAP is to reduce barriers to college enrollment by demystifying the admissions process and raising awareness about the uniform admission standards across all participating institutions. High school counselors and advisers should consider attending to learn more about the MAAP and how to fully harness the array of financial aid available for students.

Participants will acquire inquiry skills to examine issues across policy, research, and practices that impact their work with students, families, staff, and community partners. Whether it be gender equality, poverty and homelessness, immigration, healthcare, critical race theory, teacher and counselor shortages, or the ramifications of COVID, participants will explore how these issues impact college and career counseling, postsecondary planning, and develop plans to address the concerns in their own community.
