College Jumpstart: Summer Bridge to Success

An opportunity for rising senior high school students in College of DuPage’s region for up to four general education courses that are easily transferrable to most institutions. The idea is to target courses that are challenging to find a qualified dual credit instructor, as well as courses that are highly transferrable. Since students in District 502 receive a 50% discount on tuition while in high school, this is an opportunity for students to complete general education credits in a cohort style environment, explore COD's campus, and build their transcript.

Students will be able to enroll in a learning community that includes two courses. Students can enroll in both learning communities, if they wish to take all 12 credit hours.
