June PREP sessions filling up fast

The University of Louisiana at Monroe's Preview, Registration and Enrollment Program season will begin with an already full session June 6-7. Future sessions will be on the following Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout June (June 13 - 14, 20 - 21 and 27 - 28) and a week in July (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.

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: .
