PRE­COLLEGE 2014 JUNE 20 – JULY 25

Hampton University is genuinely concerned with the difficulty many students have transitioning from high school to college. In 1953, Hampton University made a commitment to remedy this situation by initiating an educational program known as the Pre­College Summer Session for High School Graduates. This sincere commitment is still alive and well at Hampton University and is now known as the Hampton University Pre­College Program.

The Hampton University Pre­College Program is a five­week residential program designed to ease the transition from high school to college, and expose students to the full range of university resources and facilities. Our goal is to improve skills necessary for college success while giving students a head start on the battery of classes to be taken in the Fall semester. Our program includes a comprehensive summer orientation, course credits toward graduation, and remediation courses in writing and math as needed.

The academic curriculum is complemented with enriching student activities. Students have the opportunity to participate in special interest events such as intramural sports, social activities and field trips. We provide weekly enrichment seminars that include topics on “Test Taking and Time Management Skills”, “Library Orientation”, “Career Counseling” and "The Freshman Experience." Ultimately, the Pre­College Program aims to ensure students’ educational success by making the transition to college life a successful and meaningful experience.

By May 1, 2014, all students must submit a current physical examination and immunization record. Students under the age of eighteen must have a parental permit on file to be treated by a physician in the Health Center. The medical form may be found on the Pre­College Website.

CREDITS If a student is placed in freshman entry­level courses, he or she may receive 6 to 9 hours of college credit. If a student’s evaluation indicates a need for development of skills in English, Reading or Math, he/she will be placed in 100 level developmental courses. Courses at the 100 level are non­degree credit courses. These courses will prepare the student for college level course work; will not be counted toward the amount of graduation.

CLASSES Class periods are generally one hour and forty­five minutes long and meet five days a week. The program is fast­paced. Missing one day of class is like missing one week of instruction. Students are not encouraged to miss any portion of the program, and any instruction missed is the student’s responsibility. Participants are required to attend Mandatory Math Tutorials, Tuesday and Thursday. Tutorial sessions take place during this time and are scheduled after regular class sessions. Every student will be held accountable for each Tutorial session.

Summer Bridge students will not be placed in more than two classes unless placement results indicate deficiencies in Math, Reading, or English. Deficiencies in all three areas will require the student to enroll in an Education 295 course. This group of students is accepted to Hampton University on the condition that they complete the summer program with 2.5 or better or S (Satisfactory) in developmental courses with S/U (Satisfactory / Unsatisfactory) designations. Program participants may take a minimum of two courses but no more than three.

Hampton University Dress Code

The Dress Code is based on the theory that learning to use socially acceptable manners and selecting attire appropriate to specific occasions and activities are critical factors in the total educational process. Understanding and employing these behaviors not only improves the quality of one's life, but also contributes to optimum morale, as well as embellishes the overall campus image. They also play a major role in instilling a sense of integrity and an appreciation for values and ethics.

The continuous demonstration of appropriate manners and dress insures that Hampton University students meet the very minimum standards of quality achievement in the social, physical, moral and educational aspects of their lives ­ essential areas of development necessary for propelling students toward successful careers.

Students will be denied admission to various functions if their manner of dress is inappropriate. On this premise students at Hampton University are expected to dress neatly at all times. The following are examples of appropriate dress for various occasions:

1. Classroom, Cafeteria, Student Center and University offices ­ neat, modest, casual or dressy attire. 2. Formal programs in Ogden Hall, the Convocation Center, the Little Theater and the Memorial

Chapel ­ business or dressy attire. 3. Interviews ­ business attire. 4. Social/Recreational activities, Residence hall lounges (during visitation hours) ­ modest, casual or

dressy attire. 5. Balls, Galas, and Cabarets ­ formal, semi­formal and dressy respectively.

Students will be denied admission to various functions if their manner of dress is inappropriate.

Examples of inappropriate dress and/or appearance include:

1. Do­rags, stocking caps, skullcaps and bandanas (prohibited at all times on the campus of Hampton University except in the privacy of the student's living quarters);

2. Head coverings and hoods for men in any building; 3. Baseball caps and hoods for women in any building. This policy item does not apply to headgear

considered as a part of religious or cultural dress; 4. Bare feet; 5. Shorts that reveal buttocks; 6. Shorts, all types of jeans at programs dictating professional or formal attire, such as Musical Arts,

Fall Convocation, Founder's Day, and Commencement; 7. Clothing with derogatory, offensive and/or lewd messages either in words or pictures; 8. Men's undershirts of any color worn outside of the private living quarters of the residence halls; 9. Sports jerseys without a conventional tee­shirt underneath; and 10. Men and Women’s pants that show underwear.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dress Code: Procedures for Cultural or Religious Head Coverings

1. Students seeking approval to wear headgear as an expression or religious or cultural dress may make a written request for a review through the Office of the Chaplain.

2. The Chaplain will forward his recommendation to the Vice President for Student Affairs for final approval.

3. Students that are approved will then have their new ID card picture taken by University Police with the headgear being worn.

All administrative, faculty and support staff members will be expected to monitor student behavior applicable to this dress code and report any such disregard or violations to the Offices of the Dean of Men, or Dean of Women for the attention of the Vice President for Student Affairs.

“My name is Cecelia Bishop and my husband, Garry, and I have a son, Christopher, attending the Pre­College Program. We want to thank the staff that organized the Pre­ College registration day, as it was truly a “stress­free” day. For parents sending off their first born. I felt confident that he would be just fine as we were told in the meeting. “You all have this” and you truly do. Thank you again for all of your support, consideration, and love that have been shown throughout the many staff member that have assisted us with making this transformation.

Christopher graduated from high school on June 15 th and we reported to Hampton University on the 19 th of June for registration. Our assigned registration time was not until 1:00 pm and I was a little concerned with the time due to the mandatory parent/student meeting that was scheduled for 3:00 pm that day. We arrived on campus around 11:00 am. The ladies at the desk assured us that we would have time to take care of every detail before the meeting. She also told us that the registration station was ahead of schedule and they would probably take us shortly. We were seen around 11:30 am and it took all of five minutes to get Christopher’s schedule and paperwork. We were directed to the next stations. We took care of the laundry card while Christopher stood in line for his ticket to King’s Dominion and T­shirt. I saw Dr. Inman sitting at the end of the table and asked her about the Bank of America accounts because Christopher already had an account. I inquired to determine if the account was something connected to the school. She reassured me it was the same and we moved on to the next item on our agenda which was to get Christopher moved into the dormitory. That process went just as smoothly as the beginning of our day. We received Christopher’s key and started the moving process. Christopher’s roommate has chosen the left side and we proceed to the right side of the room. We thought it was hilarious that they both had the same last name, Bishop. We met the young man’s father and were pleased with the match. We got Christopher settled and were also impressed with the information that we received from each department head spoke that day. We later went to the bookstore to ensure that Christopher had money on his account. Ms. Pat was so helpful and reassured us that she would take good care of Christopher. She has done exactly that to date. My husband and I are extremely happy with our son’s choice to attend Hampton University. After our first meeting with Mrs. Angela Boyd, I felt at peace with our son attending Hampton. After leaving him on the 19 th of June, I felt even more at peace about our son’s new home while he attains his master’s degree in Architecture.”

Respectfully, Cecilia L. Bishop Lorten, Virginia

"The HU Pre­College/Summer Bridge Program was an ideal stepping stone for our son's transition from high school to college. The six weeks proved to be an excellent combination of academics, socialization, and dormitory life, encouraging him as he prepared for his freshman year. Making friends, networking with faculty and administrators, learning his way around campus, becoming familiar with Hampton’s history and traditions, and building confidence increased his chances for success. The

energetic and nurturing Pre­College staff were exceptional...paving the way for our son's Hampton experience to become both a positive and productive one in his life" Harold and Anita Booker Willingboro, New Jersey

"The Pre­College Program enhanced my confidence as well as my academic well­being. The positive college environment allowed me to receive a head start for the incoming freshman year." Kevin Beauford Chicago, Illinois

"The Pre­College Program really helped my son's transition from high school to college. He was able to meet people from all over the country and spread his academic wings. It was a really great experience for him." Dr. Zaphon Wilson Hampton, Virginia

"I reluctantly enrolled in the program because I was initially afraid to be 12 hours away from home. However, with lots of counseling and reassurance from the staff and faculty at HU I am now in my junior year with a current cumulative grade point average of 3.46! I am so glad that I attended the program." Yolanda Seay Cincinnati, Ohio

"As a parent, I felt that Hampton University's Pre­College Program offered my son an advance opportunity as a "Rising Senior" to experience the rewards of college life. The faculty provided an enriched and rewarding academic environment for both young men and women. It is certainly a positive experience for any student." Janice D. Lucas Mitchellville, Maryland

The following is a letter sent by a student to the Director of the Pre­College Program.

"Dear Dr. Barbara Inman,

Good, better, best, are three words I will remember for a lifetime. Attending the summer­ bridge program at Hampton University was one of the greatest experiences of my life. During my five week stay at Hampton University I matured and grew as a person. The five week bridge program flew by, before I knew it I found myself saying good bye to all my friends and hoping to see them in the fall. As I began my seven hour journey back home I began to reflect on the good times and bad times spent at Hampton University. While being stuck in D.C traffic, a song began to play on the radio called Never Could Have Made It Without you by Marvin Sapp. This song helped me realize that during my five week period at HU I’ve become a stronger, wiser and better man.

Being so far away from my family and friends for the first time, made me stronger. Having to depend on myself with no mom and dad to wake me up, get me breakfast, or make sure I go to class was a new experience. Adapting to my new environment at HU took some getting used to. The rules, and regulations established on campus helped me stay focus. I’m a stronger man because I’ve learned how to push myself, and stay motivated when things aren’t going my way. My experience at HU has made me wiser. I’ve learned that you have to make the right decisions and stay focused to be successful

and don’t let anything distract you from achieving your dreams. I’ve also learned how to ask for help and listen to my professors recommendations for success. During my time spent at Hampton University I excelled in my English class but had a minor problem with math. Math is the subject that has always required me to focus more than any other subject. As I confronted my math teacher Mrs. Heart I asked her if extra help would be possible. She told me yes and that she would be holding an extra help session after class. During the extra help session, I worked side by side with Mrs. Heart until I understood the material. This made me better because it showed me that with hard work and dedication success can be accomplished

I would like to thank you, for allowing me to attend the summer­bridge program at Hampton University. It was the experience of a lifetime. It helped me prepare for life away from home and my transition from a boy to a man. I can envision myself walking through the halls of Hampton University, and walking across the stage in 2012 with a smile on my face after receiving my diploma.”

Sincerely, George Watkins Orange, New Jersey
