PREP College Readiness Program
MVCC's Summer PREP program will be held on two different dates;
August 13, or 22, 2019 on the Utica Campus. View PREP information.
The MVCC PREP program is tailored for students with learning differences who experience difficulty with organization, attention, time management, and prioritizing tasks. At MVCC, we recognize challenges at the college level arise not from a lack of academic abilities, but because of individual differences in independence, work load, and self-management required in a college environment.
This one-day workshop, free of charge offers a unique opportunity for students to begin their freshman year with increased confidence and self-awareness.
The PREP program offers a unique experience for first time college students. Participants will not only begin their freshman year with increased confidence and self-awareness but are better equipped to persist through their respective academic program.
