The College Achievement Partnership (C.A.P.)

The College Achievement Partnership (C.A.P.), serving over 2,000 students each semester, is an extensive combination of courses and support services for students who need to strengthen their skills in Mathematics and English. The courses are offered on three levels arranged in a sequence that enables students to master increasingly sophisticated and challenging materials.* Class size is limited, and students are scheduled so that groups of 20 take two or more classes together**, forming cohesive learning communities. The instructors, counselors, academic advisors and Learning Lab specialists work in partnership to provide an instructional setting that promotes student achievement. Counselors meet with students at the start of the semester, help students solve academic problems, and offer group and individual career planning and guidance. Learning Lab instructors reinforce and strengthen the classroom instruction and provide individual tutoring.

* The three sequenced levels of CAP are English 089/097; 098/099 and 101/108.

** In addition to English courses, students may take Math 016, 017 (Developmental Education courses) or college mathematics ( typically Math 118), depending on placement. While students placing in Developmental Education may be restricted in the courses they may take, there are a number of classes such as CIS 101 (Data Processing) for which students wishing a full time experience may be registered. The College Achievement Partnership maintains a staff of faculty advisors to insure appropriate placement.
