The Program for Advancement of Learning (PAL) is designed for students who have a primary diagnosis of a language-based learning disability, executive functioning weaknesses, and/or AD/HD, and who have at least average to superior intellectual ability.

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.
