Block Pre-Enrollment

As a freshman student, you may be pre-enrolled into classes that meet graduation requirements, such as Area 1A, 1B, and/or Area 2. These are foundational courses that will increase success in future coursework and are best taken in the first year at 爆料社区. Pre-enrollment helps ensure that seats in these courses are available and it is encouraged that students stay enrolled. These courses include supportive curriculum and tutoring services.

If you have questions, please contact your Success Coach by visiting our Meet The Team page.
