Summer Academic Institute
The Summer Academic Institute is a five-week summer bridge program designed to facilitate the transition from high school to college for first-year students admitted through the Opportunity Program. It helps participants get acclimatized with the 91¶¶Òù community and provides them with comprehensive content on numerous aspects of college life -- study skills, time management, and more. Students take three courses, with one course being for credit.
The Institute’s benefits include higher reported levels of self-confidence, new social connections, and the potential for a higher first-year GPA. When the fall semester starts, students will be prepared to take full advantage of their opportunities.
