Prepare for the college admissions process with the College Access Conference (CAC)!
Throughout CAC, students and their families will have the opportunity to attend a variety of sessions. Each will be centered around helping first-generation and underrepresented high school students understand the college admissions process and prepare for applying to college. Guests will also have a chance to tour the University of Maryland's (UMD) beautiful campus and meet representatives from our academic programs and campus services. Registration is required.
