EOP Students

Pre-Freshman Summer Academy

Sunday, July 6— Friday, July 25, 2025

Bring a positive attitude and an eagerness to learn!


The Pre-Freshman Summer Academy is an immersive introduction to college life to set you up for success.


We want you to succeed!

That’s why we require all first-year EOP students to attend the Summer Academy.


The Pre-Freshman Summer Academy is all about YOU. It’s planned to provide you with the tools and information to ensure your success while you’re at Purchase and beyond.

We orient you to different aspects of the college and campus services integral to your success. You’ll become familiar with college life through workshops and activities. You’ll also receive advising on both academics and financial aid.

But the rest is up to you.

The critical element in achieving academic success at Purchase is YOU!


EOP provides you with information and support, but ultimately, success is up to you, and results directly from the time and effort you apply toward your college experience. 

Registration not required.

You do not need to register for the Summer Academy. We will enroll you automatically.


What to Expect

Your program begins with an Orientation session on Monday, July 7. The days that follow start with breakfast at 8am, followed by workshops such as reading, writing, or math groups, then peer mentoring and individual appointments with advisors. You’ll be busy, but we build free time into every day’s schedule.
