Summer in the South Bronx at Hostos College -- College Now

Hostos College Now has designed and established an integrated academic program with comprehensive support services for high school students.  All students participate for free.

This summer Hostos College Now has three options:

1). Bronx Civic Scholars for rising 12th graders with a 75 on the ELA Regents and a GPA of 80.

2). Summer Intensive English Learning Program for rising 11th or 12th graders.

3). Pre-Health Intensive Summer Help for rising 11th or 12th graders.

To cultivate the college experience, we hold class on our campus. Students who enroll in a Hostos College Now course are given a Hostos Community College ID card and a Blackboard and Webmail account. Students have access to many of the facilities at the college including the library, computer labs, tutoring center, and dining hall. We frame the college experience with formal orientations and support services specially designed for the high school level.

College Now courses and workshops are taught by college faculty.  College Now courses are exclusively for NYC public high school students. Enrollment in a college course is a serious commitment. All college courses become a part of the CUNY transcript. If a student attends Hostos Community College as an undergraduate, the grade earned in a Hostos Community College Now course will be included in the college GPA.

All accepted students will be required to attend a mandatory orientation and maintain satisfactory participation and academic performance.
