• integrate study skills into courses
• incorporate a course on Career Planning /Self-Assessment/Workforce Assessment which may culminate in the selection of a specific Program of Study for those who are undecided about their academic program options
• provide a mini-orientation/workshop for program participants, which would incorporate such things as: introduction to the College and its services, self-advocacy skills, and registration into the Program
• utilize Peer Tutors and Peer Mentors -- who have, themselves, been program participants
• use computer technology
• establish entry criteria by:
• defining minimum skills levels in both math and English for entry into the Program

• requiring those who fall below the minimum criteria in math to complete a diagnostic test not taken on the computer
