ROCKLAND — RSU13 Adult and Community Education announces the recent graduation of seven students from the College Next program. College Next is offered as a semester-long course through a partnership
with University of Augusta’s Rockland Center at no charge to adult learners.
In addition to improving English and math skills needed for college, students earn three college credits for the COL 100-Intro to College Experience section of the course. During the thirteen weeks, students learn about financial aid and scholarships, study skills, career choices, and computer skills for college.
As one graduate observed, in a news release, “This class was the perfect step towards understanding how college works.”
College Next is held on campus at URock, offering a lively student environment, as well as a modern computer lab and college experience.
Registration is open for the Fall 2019 College Next program, which begins September 18. For more information or to register call (207) 691-5751 or email pjunge@rsu13.org
College Next is sponsored by a state-funded College Transitions grant received by Adult Education programs in the Midcoast Adult Education and Career Access Services Hub which includes coastal programs from Belfast to Topsham. RSU13 Adult and Community Education is one of eight Adult Education Programs in the grant partnership.
