Glen Oaks offers bridge program

Students wishing to attend Glen Oaks Community College in the fall have an opportunity to enhance their English and math skills prior to the start of the semester.
The Summer Bridge program, designed to better prepare students for Accuplacer testing and subsequent college coursework, is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 8-10 and 15-17.
Students will take the Accuplacer pre-test for English and Math to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Test results will establish individual areas of focus. Students are advised to attend all sessions to maximize their scores. At the end, they will be re-tested to determine knowledge gained.
Subjects covered in the program include sentence skills, reading comprehension, basic math, elementary algebra and college-level math.
Students interested in participating in the free program are urged to contact the Glen Oaks Tutoring and Testing Center at the College, at 294-4270.
