Power Up for College Success

Power Up for College Success A one-credit program for first-year students entering UMass Amherst.

Students will learn the skills that lead to success in college, move into their dorm early, and earn 1 credit! 2016 dates: August 31-September 2

Come to campus two days before fall orientation and settle into your residence hall room ahead of the move-in rush. During the two-and-a-half day Power Up course you will become familiar with UMass and learn strategies and skills (i.e., college-level rea

ding, writing, note-taking, test-taking, and time management) that will give you a leg up on
your college experience. Because Power Up classes are small, no larger than 22, you’ll have a network
of friends even before classes start. After the Power Up program, you will seamlessly transition into the fall first-year student orientation, with one credit already earned toward graduation and with the knowledge and confidence to maximize your success at UMass.
