Why is the Getting Ready for College (GRFC) Program needed?
- Good students frequently have poor academic experiences.
- Students don't understand all their assets and liabilities; interests, values, personality, academic/career directions, etc.
- Students don't understand the university environment.
- Incoming students are unaware of problems and pitfalls of the freshman year.
- Changing majors with additional semesters is very expensive.
- Neither high schools nor colleges offer as extensive an assessment as GRFC.
- Goal-directed, organized, responsible students are generally emotionally healthy and stable.
- Educational experts report 50% of college freshman are unprepared for the college experience.
