​CASA Academy is a five-week residential alternative admissions program coordinated by the Center for Academic Success and Achievement (CASA) at Morgan State University. The program is designed to ease the transition from high school to college for students whose academic profile and performance suggest the need for early intervention to improve their potential for success in college. Transitioning high school students are referred to the CASA Academy after applying to Morgan State University. Students must be referred by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in order to participate in CASA Academy. Students must successfully complete the program in order to gain admission to the University. Successful completion means that the student has earned a minimum grade of "C" or 70% in all of their CASA Academy courses.

​Once the student has registered for CASA Academy, they are enrolled in a sequence of non-credit courses designed to strengthen the student's background in English, Mathematics, and Analytical and Critical Reading (ALCR). Students will also be introduced to a strengths-based orientation seminar designed to help build students' awareness of their natural talents.

CASA Academy is an academically intense and rigorous residential program. The 2024 program dates are Saturday, June 29th, to Friday, August 2nd, 2024. The payment deadline is June 14th. Participants' primary purpose and goal of participating in CASA Academy are to improve their skill development in the identified core areas in order to gain admission to the University. 

​Students in CASA Academy must agree to meet the following standards:

• All students must take the following courses during CASA Academy: English, Math, Analytical and Critical Reading, and an Orientation course.
