June 30 through July 31
The Gateway Summer Program is a transition program open by invitation to students who have been conditionally admitted to Caldwell College. Full admission will be granted when the Gateway student has completed all program requirements and received a grade of “C” in the credit-bearing courses of the program.
Students who are selected to participate can earn four college credits, improve their academic skills, become familiar with our campus and staff, and return at the start of the fall semester with the confidence needed to meet the challenges of rigorous classes and assignments.
