ADULT COLLEGE ENTRY INFORMATION MEETINGS DECEMBER 1, 2, 4 IN TIFTON, SYLVESTER, & NASHVILLE

TIFTON--Anyone who is considering beginning or re-entering college may benefit from the Adult College Entry (ACE): Where Do I Begin? Information Meetings offered by Abraham Baldwin College.

A meeting will be held in Tifton on Dec. 1 from 6 – 7 p.m. in Room 4 in King Hall on the ABAC campus. Another meeting will be held in Sylvester on Dec. 2 from 6 – 7 p.m. at the Worth County/Sylvester Chamber of Commerce. A third meeting will be held in Nashville on Dec. 4 from 6 – 7 p.m. at the Berrien Chamber of Commerce in Nashville. There is no charge to attend.

The meetings are designed to provide the information adult students will need to get started on their college careers. The Adult College Entry (ACE) Seminar, which provides a system of support services that prepares adults for college entry and success, will be discussed. In the seminar, ABAC faculty and staff members will teach students how to apply for admission and financial aid and how to prepare for placement testing. Career and transfer programs available at ABAC will also be discussed.

“In the ACE Seminar, students will be with other adults who are also just starting college,” Dr. Gail Dillard, ABAC’s Director of Evening and Off-Campus Programs, said. “They will learn valuable skills to help them succeed in college, including note taking, time management, and various study skills in a program tailored to their personal needs and goals.”

An ACE Seminar is scheduled to begin Jan. 20 on ABAC’s Tifton campus. The seminar will meet 11 Tuesdays from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. through March 30 in Room 202 of the Baldwin Library. Since class size is limited to 15 students, students should register early. The cost is $49 and includes the following: a $20 application fee if the student decides to apply to ABAC, a textbook, and waiver of ABAC 1000—Freshman Seminar as a graduation requirement upon successful completion of the ACE Seminar and enrollment at ABAC.

Regular spring semester classes begin Jan. 12 at ABAC. For additional information about the ACE Seminar or the information meetings, contact Dillard at (229) 386-7154, or e-mail her at gdillard@abac.edu.
