THE GET READY EXPERIENCE
Students in the Get Ready program will prepare for the academic rigors of UD by getting a head start on courses over the summer. Each student will be registered for a one-credit online class, held over a five-week period. Additionally, students should plan to arrive on campus one week early for the fall semester. On campus they will have a chance to meet their peers and participate in specially designed orientation activities.
Students in Get Ready will:
- Get a head start earning college credits at UD by enrolling in a college-transition course
- Participate in peer-led mentoring and free tutoring sessions throughout their first year at UD
- Work closely with a success coach throughout their first year to ensure a successful transition to UD
- Have the opportunity to build relationships with UD instructors teaching courses specifically designed to ensure their success
- Build new relationships with their success coach, peer mentors and fellow students
