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 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 instruction, seminar, career counseling/mentoring,
and computer-assisted tutorials. Additionally, 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 the Fall Semester. Students who fail to meet
the exit requirements for the Summer Developmental Program
will be advised of other educational alternatives and will
be assisted in pursuing those options.
The year-long academic support
program will be required of those students who successfully
complete the 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.
