HEOP provides access to college for selected students whose prior academic experiences do not reflect their true potential. HEOP students meet both academic and financial guidelines set by the New York State Education Department and by the College. Designed to strengthen learning skills, broaden academic background, and familiarize students with Ithaca College resources, the summer program provides a comprehensive preview of college-level academic work. During the academic year, academic support is provided to HEOP students in more than a dozen subject areas by professional staff. In addition, program counselors assist students with academic work, financial aid, career planning, and personal concerns.
