PREP season concludes July 18 – 19

The University of Louisiana at Monroe's Preview, Registration and Enrollment Program season will conclude its season with a session scheduled for July 18 – 19.

PREP is a two-day program designed to help new students make a smooth transition to college life. All incoming freshmen are required to attend one of the PREP sessions, during which they select fall classes, scope out the campus, and meet fellow classmates. The participants also meet with faculty and administrators, take necessary placement exams, change majors if needed, and make course selections. The students will leave PREP with a completed schedule of classes for the fall semester.

As one future student declared via anonymous evaluation: "Everyone was friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed PREP! It was a great learning experience. Everything that [a] freshman needed was right there! The PREP Staff made me feel like family! Can't wait to come to ULM in August!"

Placement testing, CLEP testing, and Foreign Language Placement testing will be offered the day prior to PREP. Individuals may register for exams when registering for PREP. For more information, go to: www.ulm.edu/testingcenter.

There is a nonrefundable registration fee of $65 for PREP. The fee covers orientation materials, meals and entertainment while in the program. The cost for housing during PREP is $15 per night. (Please note an additional $50 room deposit is due at the time of check-in.)

Sessions are limited in size and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information and to register online, please visit the PREP website at www.ulm.edu/prep.

Individuals may also contact the PREP Hotline at (318) 342-7315 or (800) 372-5127 or by email at PREP@ulm.edu.

The Parent Orientation Program coincides with PREP and allows parents the opportunity to see firsthand where students will live, eat and socialize. Parents will also be able to speak with faculty, staff and ULM President James Cofer.

The fee for POP is $30 per participant. Children under 12 cost $15. The fee covers the cost of orientation materials and meals while in the program. All fees are nonrefundable. Parents have the option of staying in University Commons I at a cost of $25 per room/per night, with a limit of two guests in each room.
