Program Overview

Mission

Connect to College is a student support service that has created a community of scholars with the intention of systematically changing the way students connect to CCRI. Our goal is to ease the college transition by serving as a bridge between C2C students and CCRI resources, which we believe will help them attain their goal of college graduation.

Services

Each C2C scholar is assigned a Concierge Coordinator on one of the four CCRI campuses. Coordinators advise their students throughout their academic career at CCRI and connect them with essential campus services such as Financial Aid, the Office of Careers and Internships, JAA, and many others. Additional program benefits include:

• A section of LRCT1020 (a 3 credit college success class) free to our students
• The opportunity to network with students and professionals that are part of the CCRI Community
• The opportunity to brush up on academic skills and retake the Accuplacer for free, with the goal of test out of developmental, noncredit bearing classes
• Monthly optional workshops that help students build the skills necessary to be successful in College

Eligibility and Requirements

In order to become a Connect to College scholar, students must be in their first or second semester at CCRI. Additionally, we make it our priority to service students who are low income, first generation, adult learners, or have placed into developmental college courses. It is required that upon admission to the program, students are committed to meeting with their concierge coordinators at least twice a month.

Connect to College is a College Access Challenge Grant program funded by the U.S. Department of Education through the RI Office of Higher Education
