College of Lake County is offering free summer bridge classes for any new student, regardless of age. The new program, Lancer Summer Start, replaces the former Jump Start program and provides the opportunity for new CLC students to enroll in developmental math or English course plus the new College Success Seminar. It’s a convenient way to prepare for college-level classes in the fall and best of all, it’s free.
Tuition, fees and textbooks are all included. Additionally, students can check out free laptops, Wi-Fi hotspots and calculators from the CLC library to use throughout their courses. Thanks to an Innovative Bridge and Transition grant from the Illinois Community College Board and a grant from the Steans Family Foundation, Summer Start allows free participation by any new student beginning in summer and continuing into the fall semester.
