The Committee on Academic Advisement, consisting of faculty advisors, counselors, and administrators, meets regularly to discuss ways to further advance the Advisement Program at the college. These programs are geared towards freshman. The University Skills Immersion Program offers developmental courses in basic skills for entering freshman and first-year students. Courses are specially designed to assist students in passing the CUNY ACT Examinations in reading and English and the CUNY Mathematics Skill Assessment Test. Classes are small and extensive tutoring and computer lab work is included.
Class size is small.
Entering freshman who need two or more remedial courses can participate. The Intersession and ACT Workshops are designed for students who need additional assistance in passing the CUNY assessment tests. These workshops usually run for 10 days and are focused on the skills needed to pass the tests. Extensive tutoring is available. Students may be able to earn up to 30 credits for nonclassroom work, and half of these may be awarded for prior experiential learning.
