A Moderated Discussion: Fall 2020 First-gen Student Enrollment Considerations

Please Note: Time zones are in Eastern.

In anticipation of colleges and universities continuing remote instruction for fall 2020, some newly admitted first-year students and their families may consider attending local community colleges. While these options may appear to be cheaper, more convenient, or more practical, students, especially first-generation college students, may not have a wholistic picture of community college admissions and the process of deferring or delaying admission to a four-year institution. Panelists will bring nuance to this conversation, offer how institutions can offer greater transparency, and share helpful considerations for informed decision-making during this time.
