Campus Programming

IUP Connections

The Connections program is designed to specifically help foster youth and their support team with information and answers to questions you need when you need them—from admissions to financial aid, and to academic and social support both on and off campus, providing each student with personal excellence in a caring environment. At IUP, you will be a part of a community that is here to support you, encourage you, and help you find your success from where you are now to graduation day. This program helps provide students with access to mentors, supplies from the food pantry, and year-round on-campus housing options, even over scheduled breaks. You will not only become part of the IUP community, you will have a support team at your side, every step on your journey.

IUP Navigators

They also work with your academic advisor to make sure your academic needs are met. Your navigator will contact you frequently with important resources, dates, deadlines, and reminders to keep you on track toward graduation.
