Macomb Community College to offer College ABLE, an academic catch-up program in math and English, this summer

No-cost program prepares new students for college

In June and July, Macomb Community College will offer College ABLE – Academic Boost and Learning Experiences – an academic catch-up program designed to assist students who experienced learning loss due to interruptions to in-person learning during the pandemic. The program is open to any high school graduate who plans to begin college in Fall 2024. It is part of a statewide initiative administered by the Michigan Community College Association.

There is no charge for the four-week program, which focuses on preparing students for college-level math and English courses. Participating students will also be connected to valuable tools and student support services. The program is offered in a hybrid format with one class held in person each week and the rest of the material delivered online. The in-person classes are held at both Macomb’s South Campus in Warren and Center Campus in Clinton Township.

Students can choose from one of two sessions as well as between morning (8 a.m. to 12:25 p.m.) or evening (6 to 9:55 p.m.) classes. The sessions will be held:

• June 4 – 27, with a mandatory orientation on May 29
• July 16 – Aug. 8, with a mandatory orientation on July 10

Students who successfully complete the program will receive a $500 stipend to use for whatever they need to support their success in college. For more information and to register, go to www.macomb.edu/landing-page/college-able.html. For additional questions, email collegeable@macomb.edu.
