Description
The Bridges to College Information Session is designed to help you better understand what the program is all about and how it can support your transition to GRCC. During the session, you’ll get an overview of the program structure, including the courses you’ll take, the schedule, and the types of co-curricular experiences built into the program.
We’ll walk through what you can expect as a participant—from building college-level academic skills to connecting with other students and developing confidence before the fall semester begins. You’ll also learn about the additional support provided through the program, including guidance from program staff, access to resources, and opportunities to engage both on and off campus.
This session is also your chance to ask questions, get clarity on expectations, and determine if Bridges to College is the right fit for you. By the end, you should feel informed, prepared, and excited about the opportunity to start your college journey with a strong foundation and a supportive community.
Must attend entire Information Session.
