EDGE and plEDGE Applications

If you’re a 2024 graduate interested in joining the plEDGE program, please fill out our Interest Form. By doing this, you'll receive updates about our make-up session scheduled for the Winter Term in January 2025. This session is designed to meet the summer engagement requirement for eligibility to receive two free years of tuition and fees. After submitting the Interest Form, you will be conditionally admitted to the plEDGE program. Once you complete the make-up session, you'll officially become a plEDGE student.

 
To be eligible for the plEDGE program, students must complete a summer engagement requirement by choosing one of the following options:
Option A: EDGE Summer Bridge Course
Option B: Summer Credit Course 

EDGE offers three-week non-credit courses in English, mathematics, and student development. To qualify for plEDGE, students must complete at least one class. Students can take one, two, or all three courses within the three sessions.

EDGE Non-Credit Courses:

  • English EDGE (ENG-300)
  • Math/Statistics EDGE (MATH-300 or SOC-300)
  • Student Development EDGE (COUN-300)

Students must pass at least one of their EDGE non-credit courses to fulfill the summer engagement requirement.

If you need assistance selecting the EDGE courses, please contact the EDGE plEDGE team to speak to an Outreach Specialist.

Enroll in a six- or eight-week Summer Credit Course. Students who register for a summer credit course will select classes that align with their educational goals and are on their student educational plan.

 

Summer Credit Courses:

  • Registration for the summer and fall 2025 semester opens April of 2025.
  • Students must meet with a counselor to receive assistance selecting a course.

Students must pass their courses with a C or better to fulfill the plEDGE summer engagement requirement.

Failure to successfully complete your summer credit course could affect your financial aid eligibility.             

 

There are three sessions in which students can complete their EDGE Summer Bridge courses. Students are able to take one, two or all three courses during one session, or spread them out amongst multiple sessions.
