Ready for Success

Free summer study groups for new and continuing Geneseo students to prepare for Fall 2020 courses. For many of us, the spring was challenging due to COVID-19. Ready for Success study groups begin Monday, August 3, and run for four weeks to help you be ready for courses you enrolled in for Fall 2020 that depend on mastery of material that studied in spring 2020, whether at Geneseo or in high school. 

You can self enroll for any of the eight classes below in our learning management system, Canvas. You will see the available courses listed. Click on the one you want to add, then look for the "+ Join this Course" button in the top right.
