ASP Early Start Program
4/10 Update -
Early Start Students SHOULD NOT sign up for regular student orientation in June.
Summer Pre-College Experience
The ASP Early Start Program provides a realistic orientation to the roles and expectations of a Shippensburg student. The summer 2012 orientation is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, August 19, 2012 through Wednesday, August 22, 2012 (please see below for link to schedule).
The Early Start Program is a four day mandatory program that orients students to Shippensburg University. Students enrolled in the program must participate in a variety of activities and information sessions to successfully complete the program. Being late and/or missing sessions is not acceptable, and disiplinary actions will result. If a student is late/misses one session, he/she will meet with a graduate assistant on the ASP staff. If a student is late/misses two sessions, he/she will meet with the Director of ASP to discuss whether or not the student is serious about his/her academic success and being in college.
Students selected to participate in this program can expect to receive the following benefits:
- An extended orientation and early start to college life.
- A connection to the ASP faculty and staff.
- Guidance in utilizing the electronic resources required by the university, such as: e-mail, D2L, and the Banner System.
- An introduction to the general education curriculum and help seeking information about an intended major.
- Awareness of the university's academic policies and procedures.
- Increase student's awareness of institutional resources, such as the Learning Center, Office of Undeclared Students, Counseling Center, Campus Police, Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA), and the Office of Disability Services (ODS), among others.
- An understanding of the ASP resources available throughout their college career.
