Summer Retention Program

The Summer Retention Program is designed to teach students who are in academic difficulty some of the skills necessary to be successful at UMCP. These skills include:

  • Time Management
  • How You Learn
  • Textbook Reading
  • Test Taking
  • Academic Policies
  • Listening and Note Taking


The Summer Retention Program is available in two options:

  • Non-Credit: This option is FREE to students at UMCP. Call 314-7693 to reserve space in the Program.

  • Credit: This is a one-credit study skills class for which you can earn a letter grade that will go into your UMCP cumulative grade point average. If you are on academic probation, you must see your academic advisor in order to register for the program/course (EDCP 108B), Section 0101). To register for credit, please follow the instructions in the Summer Catalog.

  • The program will meet Summer Session I, allowing you to improve your academic skills before the Fall Semester begins.

  • We encourage you to participate in the Summer Retention Program and to see your advisor about which option to use.
