SUMMER EARLY ENTRY PROGRAM

success awaits you!

WHY:

The Council on Postsecondary Education now requires all incoming freshmen to begin taking necessary developmental course work within their first semester of attendance.

So why not take the classes you need early and be right on schedule with your classmates in the fall!

Plus, taking courses in the summer gives you special benefits, such as free tutoring, accessible computer labs, structured study groups, and the ability to get to know the campus, your classmates, and what it’s like to be in college before everyone else!
