In 1971 Governor Milton Shapp signed legislation which authorized the establishment of programs at Pennsylvania’s colleges and universities to assist students whose records might indicate they need a little extra help at first to succeed in their studies.

Although each program is unique to the individual college, most Act 101 programs include a tutoring component, a counseling component, and various activities to help the students adjust to the demands of college life.
