20 Hour Immersion Tutoring Initiative (Immersion)
At the end of each semester (January and June), tutoring is offered to a limited number of students (two per class). Students work in small groups (5 students max) with a trained tutor and put in additional hours in the ESL and ACR Labs. At the end of 20 hours, students retake the test. ACR and ESL 095 students with close-to-passing scores on the final exam are eligible per instructor’s recommendation.

CATW Project
These are intensive 64-hour workshops held in January and June, offered over 4 hours a day for 16 days, and taught by faculty members with the assistance of a Supplemental Instructor who gives additional after-class tutoring. Enrollment is capped at 15 in order to maximize interaction between students and their instructor. Students who have not passed the CUNY reading and writing tests two or more times and are, thus, barred from ENG 101 are eligible. Professional development on pedagogical practices provided in teaching basic reading skills and critical writing skills so that students are better prepared for the CATW. Approximately 36 developmental Writing faculty , 6 developmental Reading faculty, and 12 tutors meet for 10 two-hour sessions during Spring 2011. Each team will develop instructional materials, pilot them in classes, discuss their effectiveness, and revise the materials. Final products will include a handbook of best instructional practices, electronic modules that prepare students for CAT-W, and a handbook for training tutors to assist faculty in preparing students for the CAT-W.

Opportunities for Student Success
Program for students who are proficient in Reading and Writing but fall slightly short on Math. Students not admitted to Brooklyn but with close-to-passing math scores selected. Students must have indicated on their application an interest in a field that is not math/science intensive. In Fall 2011 program served 50 students. Students take courses and math workshop simultaneously, and test twice during the semester. If students pass COMPASS they will be admitted. Students must sign contract, attend full-time, participate in learning community, receive academic advising from designated advisor, and visit learning center for 20 hours during semester.

Bridge program for students interested in health/science fields
Program offered in Summer 2010 and Summer 2011. Based on SCALE-UP model. Students read prior to class, receive 20 minutes of lecture, and work in small groups on carefully created problem sets. Very high pass rates. Students received $1,000 stipend in 2010 through grant funding.

ESL Intensive Program
CUNY Office of Undergraduate Studies
The students who enrolled in the program were ESL or developmental English students who did not pass the ACT reading and/or writing exams. HSA enrolls freshman students with low scores on the CUNY entrance examinations into freshman learning communities. The two-semester experience includes common academic courses, targeted test preparatory workshops, and a noncredit module-based course designed to orient students to higher education learning. HSA also integrates targeted academic support, orientation, and advisement with assistance from faculty, tutors, peer mentors, and staff. The HSA goal is to develop the academic and social skills necessary to further student education. In AY 2009/10, 47 students were served. Funded in 2010/11. ESL Intensive Program is a one-year accelerated ESL program. Students are selected after their first or second semester at Hostos through teacher recommendation and individual testing. This program provides content-based instruction in all language skills and is designed to bring a selected group of students through three semesters of ESL in two semesters. Each level of the program involves fifteen (15) hours of ESL class work per week. This includes writing and reading components, as well as a language workshop. Additionally, students are blocked into two content courses taught in English as part of the curriculum. In AY 2009/10, 114 students were served.

Opportunities for Student Success
Immersion for conditional admits phased out in Summer 2011 and replaced with OSS. Began in fall 2011 with 11 students in Math and 4 students in English. Students who were not initially accepted to Hunter but were close to passing in Math or English were contingently admitted through the program. A variety of indicators were examined in the selection of students including CAA, SAT, and high school attended. Only students who indicated on their application that they were interested in a field that requires a lower level of proficiency in math/science were selected. Students complete workshop in fall semester and will register for credit-bearing course in spring. Students who achieve a C or better in the credited course may continue at Hunter. Students not required to retest on CUNY proficiency exam.

Description Program required for EPL students with three remedial needs, offered through collaboration with BEOC. ASAP participants must meet income requirements and be NYC resident. Participants may have at least one but no more than two outstanding dev. course needs at time of application to ASAP. ASAP will conditionally admit a student with more than two outstanding developmental course needs at time of application, but the student must fully address any developmental ed needs above the two-course maximum before the start of the program. ASAP allows colleges to recruit up to 25% of their incoming cohort students who are fully skills proficient at time of application to ASAP. Most colleges recruit students who have one "upper level" developmental need in one or two subjects: ie math and or writing vs. a student who needs two levels of developmental math. ASAP college teams receive data feeds of test scores for admitted students and continuing students who have at least one developmental course need. ASAP directly recruits students through letters, email and phone calls (and sometimes classroom visits) and invites students to ASAP information sessions. ASAP students are registered immediately into their developmental courses and are asked to continue to take them until they become fully skills proficient. Students w. developmental needs are required to attend tutoring, which is provided by ASAP. Attendance is monitored by ASAP advisors, with whom students meet at least twice/month. Depending on college and semester, remedial courses may be block scheduled and dedicated specifically for ASAP students.
