SUMMER UNIVERSITY ACCESS PROGRAM

The University Access Programs (formally Student Supportive Services) sponsors a Summer Residential Pre-College Program July 1, 2013 through August 2, 2013. The program is designed to provide an intensive academic curriculum for incoming freshmen. Courses are concentrated academic instruction in the areas of English, Reading, Math, Technology, and College Survival Skills.

The Pre-Collegiate Program’s main objective is to adequately prepare first generation students for successful entry into the university and to successfully complete and graduate from SCSU.

The 5-week residential summer program combines concentrated academic work and recreational activities for incoming freshmen. Students live on campus in a dormitory and experience an introduction to college life. Activities during the week consist of mandatory morning and afternoon classes. The classroom work addresses academic weakness or enrichment and attempts to prepare the student for the next school year.

Afternoons and evenings include special activities and field trips to various close-by cities, and various other activities, which may include visiting nature reserves, attending local plays and concerts, and participating in cultural workshops.
