PASSPORT Program
Freshman applicants seeking admission to Kean University who do not fully meet regular admission requirements, but who are determined to have potential to succeed academically, may be considered for the PASSPORT Program. The mission of the PASSPORT Program is to provide support for access to higher education and academic success to students matriculated at Kean University via an alternate admission category. The PASSPORT Program enhances the University’s mission of access and excellence. The Program provides student-centered advising and counseling to assist students in developing intellectually, socially, culturally, and personally to reach the ultimate goal of completing the baccalaureate degree and entering the professional workforce or graduate studies.
The support services offered by the PASSPORT Program complement those offered to all students by the University. Students admitted into the PASSPORT Program are served for their first two years of college study before they are completely integrated into general student population services.
Intensive counseling and academic support services are scheduled throughout the first two years of study. Admission to this program is at the discretion of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Students are admitted for the fall semester only. The University expects that all applicants offered admission register for study for the semester immediately following acceptance.
