Hey guys, I got an e-mail today that I wanted to pass along on here. If you or anyone you know is in a position where they want to go to college, but haven't done so hot in high school, this could be really valuable. I'm just going to paste the contents here, but let me know if I can help with anything.

Know of any 16-20 year olds who have dropped out of high school (or behind in credit) and want to obtain a diploma and work towards college credit? Gateway to College may be right for them.
 
Mandatory orientations for those interested are happening in the next two weeks!
Wednesday, June 23, 1:00pm - 3:00pm
Wednesday, June 30, 1:00pm - 3:00pm

**All Information Sessions will be held at the CCSF Southeast Campus in Room 507**
 

Gateway to College is accepting applications for the Fall 2010 semester. All interested applicants must attend one mandatory Information Session and complete the application packet (attached). Please refer students who might be interested in this opportunity.

Gateway to College is a program at City College of San Francisco that serves students between 16-20, who have dropped out of high school in San Francisco or are behind in credits for their age or grade level.  Students take courses that help earn credit towards their high school diploma and a college degree or certificate, at the same time.

Gateway to College is for students who:
-Are 16-20 years old
-Have dropped out of high school or are behind in credits for their age or grade level
-Read at an 8th grade level
-Struggled with grades and attendance (below 2.0 gpa)
-Are ready and motivated to work towards their diploma and a college degree or certificate

All students interested in applying to the program must attend one Information Session and ARRIVE ON TIME.  During the session, we will distribute application packets, provide details about the program, and administer a 20-minute reading assessment.

[All Gateway classes will now be held at the Ocean Campus for their first semester. Upon successful completion of their first semester, other CCSF campuses will be open for Gateway students to enroll.]
