The Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL) is designed for students who have diagnosed learning differences, executive functioning weaknesses, and/or AD/HD, and who have at least average to superior intellectual ability.

Space is limited, therefore, each application is evaluated carefully to identify students whose needs best match the nature of support offered in PAL. All applicants must submit diagnostic materials that describe and support the above PAL admissions criteria.  Applicants may also submit the optional PAL Supplementary Questionnaire.  First-Year applicants must apply to the College and the PAL program by following the instructions below, and by completing the Application for Undergraduate Admission.
