Event Description

UA ACTivate PROGRAM APPLICATION

College isn't just a dream — it’s your next destination. Crimson Compass guides high school students through focused standardized test prep, confidence-building and college readiness coaching, helping them chart a clear path to success at The University of Alabama and beyond.

Live on campus. Prepare with purpose. UA ACTivate is a residential program on campus that combines ACT prep with the college experience.

During your stay, you will:

  • Strengthen ACT test-taking strategies
  • Explore UA’s academic and student support resources
  • Gain insight into admissions, majors and campus life

From test prep to college admissions, UA ACTivate helps you feel confident, prepared and at home — before you even apply for college.

The 2026 UA ACTivate application will open on February 1st and close on May 15th. Once registration is completed, students will receive follow-up information regarding summer move-in dates, roommate assignments, the daily schedule, a list of camp activities and more.
