What does the program include?

  • English 100 - accepted for 3.0 hours of credit towards all the U of R programs.
  • Guest Presentations - to learn more about the U of R and all of its services
  • Tutoring - although students are expected to complete homework and assignments outside of the daily programming, students are also provided homework time with the assistance of our writing tutors. Additionally, tutors are available for one-on-one appointment booking if needed.
