Summer Bridge Programs 2021
The Summer Bridge Program is FREE! All books, supplies and instruction needed for the program are provided FREE of charge.
Too many students enter college without sufficient skills in English and math to succeed — which forces them to take developmental (or remedial) education courses. Across the nation, roughly 30 percent of entering freshman students enroll in developmental math or English courses. Among community college students, enrollment in developmental education doubles to about 60-70 percent. If you fall into this category, you will need to spend more time in college — and expend more money on classes and books — before you can earn a certificate or a degree. Not surprisingly, students in this situation are less likely than others to complete a degree.
Here at North Idaho College we want to set you up for success. We have two options for Summer Bridge. We offer both a Math track and an English track. As a student you can choose to pursue one or the other. These experiences run 9am to 3pm two days a week and the cost of the program is paid for by the college, which includes a lunch. Below is more information about each track:
| Math Summer Bridge - Mondays & Wednesdays 9am - 3pm June 7th to July 30th | ||

In order to sign up for Summer Bridge, you will need a student ID#. If you do not have an NIC student ID#, you will have to apply to the college to be provided one.
Once you have been accepted the registration for each summer bridge is a little different:
For the English Summer Bridge you will work with Cardinal Central to get registered for the three courses listed above. Once that is done you are ready to go.
For the Math Summer Bridge you will work with the Adult Education Center to get registered for the Math Fundamentals and the remaining registrations will be taken care of on our end. Once that is done you are ready to go.
After registering it will look like you have a bill for the program. There will be a scholarship applied to your account that will make the program zero cost to you!
