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 workshop held in virtual sessions is free of charge and offers a unique opportunity for students to begin their freshman year with increased confidence and self-awareness.

Why PREP?

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.

Additionally, this workshop offers parents a dedicated session to learn more about MVCC Office of Accessibility Resources as well as community resources.
