Spring 2016 SELF ADVOCATE, Y'ALL! FREE PRE-COLLEGE COURSES WITH CollegeNow!

 
 
 
 Dear Student,

Have you received a score of 75+ on the ELA Regents exam? OR have you received an 80+ on the Algebra

Regents? Did you know that you that you need both scores to qualify for you to NOT take remedial

courses? If you have not achieved either of these scores, you should take advantage of the College Focus

Summer Program @ Borough Manhattan Community College.

The College Focus Program is an early intervention, pre-college activity, for Department Of Education students

whose Regents test scores qualify them to graduate high school but not to take college credits. The focus of

the program is to help NYC public high school students to not just meet CUNY standards for placement into

credit-bearing but also to acquire the range of skills necessary to succeed in college study.

In this free summer program, you will prepare to pass these tests. Passing these tests will exempt you from

remedial courses at CUNY and qualify you for college credit courses in your senior year of high

school. Participants will receive a Student Metrocard and lunch vouchers, and have an opportunity to take the

CUNY Assessment Test as a cohort at the conclusion of the program!

To apply, print and complete an application and submit the completed application to Diamond Brooks,

Academic Program Coordinator at dbrooks@bmcc.cuny.edu

Please note, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until classes are full.
