Students are given extra support after class in study skills, time management, group and individual tutoring, and counseling. Financial eligibility is based on the size of the student s household and the total family income. The student must have been a New Jersey resident for 12 months. This is a six-week residential program.
Students go home on the weekends.
All costs are covered by the program. The summer program combines academic preparation with achievement motivation and evaluates individual student strengths and weaknesses prior to fall placement. Students are exposed to the college s environment and faculty to enhance their transition in the fall. While the summer program is mandatory for all incoming freshmen, a few exceptions are made in extraordinary circumstances. A small stipend given at the end of the program.
