About this Episode

The tnAchieves Summer Bridge Program is a FREE, 14-day program designed to help students who have not tested into college-level courses enter college more confident, both socially and academically! Held at community colleges across the state, the tnAchieves Summer Bridge Program gives you the opportunity to gain college experience, meet professors and make new friends!

Specifically, if students have scored below a 19 in reading or math and/or below an 18 in English on the ACT, the Summer Bridge Program could be right for them! In this case, students' ACT scores may require them to take corequisite courses prior to earning college credits. Through the Summer Bridge Program, they will receive FREE instruction by college professors in math, reading and English. These courses will give students a feel for what college courses are like and they will experience working with college professors. On the first and last day of the program, students will have the opportunity to test into college-level courses via a placement test (ACCUPLACER).

*The deadline to register is May 10, 2024. * Please note, space in each program is limited and priority will be given to TN Promise eligible students who plan to attend a Tennessee community college and require corequisite classes. If interested, we encourage students to register as soon as possible!
