What is the Summer Developmental Program?

The Summer Developmental Program is a nine week summer enrichment program designed to enhance the academic skills of students who do not meet all the criteria for admission into Mississippi's eight public universities. Qualified students will take course work in English, mathematics, and reading. This program will include classroom instructions, seminar, career counseling/mentoring, as well as, computer-assisted tutorials. In addition, the students will receive counseling and support needed to matriculate successfully in the academic and social community of the university. These courses will not count toward graduation. However, with successful completion of the Summer Developmental Program, the student will be able to enroll as a freshman in Fall Semester 2008. Students who failed to meet the exit requirements for 2008 Summer Developmental Program will be advised of other educational alternatives and will be assisted in pursing those options.

The year-long academic support program will be required of those students who successfully complete the 2008 Summer Developmental Program. The program is designed to assist those students admitted with academic deficiencies, as well as other volunteer students, with their freshman courses.
