The Loper Success Academy is a program that helps you connect with the UNK community and succeed academically. You’ll get to move-in a week early and build strong connections with a group of new students and UNK staff. Participating students will continue to receive support and participate in events throughout fall 2026. The program includes:
Only 35 spots available – claim yours!
Open to new and current students who are not already part of another support program, such as Susan T. Buffett Scholarship recipients, KHOP, or Kearney Bound, and who are motivated to succeed academically and fully utilize the resources to support you.
Please note that students who plan to participate in band or sorority recruitment will have time conflicts from August 16-20 and will not be able to join the Loper Success Academy.
There is no cost to belong. Students who attend the week-long event will have meals covered.
The Academy runs the full fall 2026 semester. Participating students will arrive to campus Sunday, Aug. 16 and participate in events from Aug. 17 – 20. You’ll be finished and ready for Blue Gold Welcome that starts Friday, Aug. 21.
