Preparatory Enrollment Program (PEP)
The Preparatory Enrollment Program (PEP) supports the academic and personal development of first-generation college students, beginning with their transition to Rhode Island College. The program places a strong emphasis on first year support services to lay the foundation for student success. PEP students engage in a summer transition program, individual advising, and weekly programming in an affirming environment that values the diversity of individual experiences and honors the legacy of first-generation students.
