Priority Enrollment Program (PEP)

Reserve your seat for one of the following dates of the PEP program:

  • Saturday, April 19, 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
  • Wednesday, April 23, 3:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

This program is designed to create an easy transition from high school to college for senior high school students.  It will allow students to complete the necessary steps in becoming a college student in a short period of time, and early in the registration period! This is a great opportunity for getting priority admission and access to early registration for the Summer and Fall 2008 semesters. 

 PEP offers students:

  • Orientation to College – you will meet with individuals from support services who will provide you with guidance and necessary information.
  • Placement Testing – will determine the level of your math and English and assist Counselors to place you in an appropriate course.  To expedite your enrollment, we recommend that you take the placement test on the PEP day.  However, if you miss the test, you may still take it at another time.  The test schedule is available on-line. Please note that there is no time limit on the test.
  • Group Counseling – will provide you with general information on programs and the College requirements.
  • Financial Aid Workshop – is an extensive workshop providing information about financial aid availability. Financial Aid advisors will be available to provide guidance with completing necessary forms.
  • Campus Tour - will be provided to help you find your way around campus.
