  • Fully participate in the required co-curricular activities, required tutoring hours, GAP4+1 cohort meetings, Accounting Society meetings, visits with firms, field trips, and other GAP4+1 events, which include blocking Fridays until 1:00PM or later.
  • Schedule an appointment to meet with the GAP4+1 Counselor at least twice per semester
  • Schedule an appointment to meet with the GAP4+1 Counselor and your mentor/mentee at least once per semester
  • Meet with your mentor at least once per month
  • Log the required number of hours in the Student Success Center for tutoring anytime through the semester. The required number of hours may vary, up to 24 hours per semester.
  • Complete all required saved class selections. Classes in this program are pre-established and guaranteed for the cohort (group). This allows students to work together as a group and to bond with one another – which enhances the potential for success.

After admission into the program, each cohort starts out by enrolling in these two summer courses immediately after graduating high school:

  • COUN 10: Introduction to College Study Skills
  • COMM 1: Communication Fundamentals

These courses are designed to increase your skills in studying, managing time, accessing campus resources, communicating, and building confidence.

During your first two years at Â鶹´«Ã½, your scheduled course load will include transferable courses for general education and core accounting - ACCT 1A: Financial Accounting and ACCT 1B: Managerial Accounting.

During your fourth semester at Â鶹´«Ã½, you will cross-enroll and take your first upper division accounting course, Intermediate Accounting (ACCT 301A), at the Â鶹´«Ã½ campus. California residents will benefit from this cross-enrollment by paying a lesser fee for the CSUF class. Nonresident students, as defined by Â鶹´«Ã½, including F1 visa students, will pay the CSUF cost of enrolling through Open University, which results in a higher fee than the California residents.
