College Students in Transition

The Transitions Program assists students in their transition from high school to college. Learning Services offers special assistance throughout the first year to students who are accepted into the program. In their acceptance letter from the Mount's Admissions Office, incoming students are informed of their placement into the Transitions Program.  Students who receive this letter are required to participate in the Transitions Program and will be contacted by Learning Services during the summer before they begin their fall semester courses.

The goal of the Transitions Program is for the students to become confident, successful, college students. To this end, Transitions students have access to the following services:

• Required weekly meetings with a member of the Learning Services staff throughout the student's first year at the Mount
• Various study strategies and organizational tools as needed
• Peer tutoring when appropriate
• Quiet study space

For questions about the Transitions Program and other aspects of Learning Services, please contact Denise L. Marjarum, Director of Learning Services.
