LEWISTON — Lewiston Adult Education is accepting applications for the Summer College Transitions Program, designed for individuals looking to increase their earning potential by earning a two- or four-year degree.

GED/HiSET Diploma/High School Diploma-holding residents of Androscoggin County accepted to the program may enroll at no cost.

Designed to help students prepare for, be accepted to and become successful in college, the College Transitions Program provides a comprehensive review of reading, writing and math in a setting that simulates an actual college environment.

Adults who have been away from the classroom for several years (or more) benefit from working in a college-style setting before enrolling in college.

This transitional step saves students much of the time and energy that is typically spent adjusting to a new environment and allows them to focus on their studies.

Each semester, the course is specifically formatted to meet the current students’ needs. By the end of the course, participants will have developed the study habits and time management skills that will work best with their individual learning styles.

Other obstacles unrelated to academics, such as the college application process, financial aid issues, finding child care and logistical challenges unique to the student, will also be addressed in the program.

Classes will begin Tuesday, June 3, at the B-Street Community Center. Both face-to-face and online/blended components of the contemporary classroom setting are incorporated into the program.

A “Bridge to College Transitions” course is also available for those interested in gearing up for college, but may need additional academic skill-building before taking the College Transition Program.

Interested candidates must contact Elayne Bean at 795-4141 to schedule an advising appointment prior to registration.
