In addition, students who come during the summer can reduce their semester load during their freshman year to four rather than five classes, making the entire year more manageable. After all, students who start in the fall and do poorly will have a difficult time recovering in spring to keep HOPE, but students who come in the summer, even the ones who stumble, have time to adapt and make changes so that the grades for the entire year are strong. The freshman year is, as the name implies, a fresh beginning. All students from Georgia who receive a B average after attempting 30 semester hours in college earn a HOPE scholarship during the sophomore year, regardless of their high school averages. The Summer Program helps these students as well.
Summer can help.
Students can take summer classes before the rigors of daily practice begins. Then, when the season starts, they can take a reduced load and still be on track for graduation. The Summer Program gives students an intense academic experience over a short period of time, and it takes the pressure off the rest of the year. These five weeks can make a difference for all new students. To ensure your space, call or write the Admissions Office.
