ACT 101
Rosemont College has participated in the Act 101 program sponsored by the state of Pennsylvania since August 2008. It is an extensive program that supports first and second year students in achieving their academic goals and enhancing their educational experience. Students are selected to join and invited to participate in the ACT 101 program by requirements set by the state of Pennsylvania. The program is limited to 50 students each year.
The ACT 101 students have the benefit of an academic advisor that is dedicated only to their group. Students meet with the ACT 101 advisor once every two weeks. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and receive assistance on anything from coursework, academic policy, opportunities on campus and personal issues. Additionally, the program offers a great variety of activities and services which are completely funded by ACT 101.
