OBU is currently conducting some research on what we are calling a possible "Bridge Program" which I know can mean different things at different campuses. Essentially, we are looking at some sort of remedial academic programming to assist students who are not
academically prepared for college. I've been tasked with reaching out to other institutions to learn more about what they are doing in this space. Do any of you have a similar program and would you be willing to connect with me to share some details around
it?</div>

I'm obviously looking to learn more about financial aid options (I've read a little in the Handbook and Ask Regs on eligible and non-eligible remedial programs), but as a member of the task force, I'm also interested to learn about other things with your program
like the length of it, admissions criteria, process, etc. Anything you'd be willing to share that I can take back to our next working meeting. </div>
