¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp

The Office of Learning Support Services’ summer program is called Pathways to Academic Success for Students (PASS). It takes place three weeks prior to Freshmen Move-In.

Who is invited to the PASS program?  

This pre-college program is open to any incoming ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapp with a documented learning disability. It provides an opportunity for incoming freshmen to adjust to the rigors of college life.

What can PASS Program attendees expect? 

• Enroll in a 3-credit college course. 
• Learn valuable college study skills to sharpen your academic skills. 
• Connect with other ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapps before the academic year starts. 

How much does the PASS Program cost? 

The cost of the Summer PASS Program is determined yearly. For the current cost, please contact learndiff@mercyhurst.edu. The fee includes the application fee, room, and board and along with the tuition for a three-credit course, is placed on the Fall bill.

There are three goals of the PASS Program experience:

1. To allow incoming ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapps an opportunity to connect with other program ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapps, administrators and faculty before all ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapps return to campus.
2. To allow ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapps with learning and/or other disabilities an opportunity to begin recognizing and coping with the added demands that their disability imposes upon college coursework. 
3. To give ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapps a chance to earn three college credits which allows ¼â½ÐÊÓƵapps with learning disabilities to have the flexibility of not having to add a fifth course during the Fall semester of their freshman year.
