Goals The goal of the CircLES program is to... increase student retention improve their academic performance add value to their college education

ORIENTATION CLUSTERS ADVISING STUDENT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Structure

CircLES - One Week-Long Orientation CONNECTIONS TO UNIVERSITY SERVICES DEVELOPMENTAL MATH REVIEW AND PLACEMENT STUDY SKILLS RESEARCH MODULES (Science or Engineering)

Math Review Duration: 3 days, 2 hours each day Students solve math problems in small groups of 4 or 5 students Math review is led by peer facilitators The accompanying text focuses on short explanations and practice problems After the math review is complete, students retake UTEP’s math placement exam
