JUMP START


Jump Start is a five-day online program designed to help you get ready for taking courses in virtual formats this fall. Jump Start, which is offered at no cost, is divided into two parts:

How2Be_OS (How to be an Online Student; Day 1-2)

Designed to guide you through the transition to online university learning, you’ll learn about your online courses, a Virtual Classroom, online support with real people you can talk to, and how to access our many online resources. (More details; full schedule)

SWW (Summer Writing Workshop; Day 3-5)

Our popular SWW has been helping students prepare for university academics for 15 years. It will help you understand and feel prepared to meet academic expectations. You’ll have the opportunity to learn, think and write like a university student, join a lecture with a SMU prof, and meet some fellow students who are also starting university this year.
