We are defining Maine College Transitions Programs as comprehensive, integrated or sequential programs of study leading to enrollment in a post secondary institution. MCTP are offered through local adult education programs.

1. Assessment
2. Career planning
3. Academic coursework
4. College experience
5. Tracking and follow up

No. Each program has certain characteristics that are the same. Two models are:

• Cohort model, all students enter the program at the same time and continue to work together through the program. Usually this type of program is semester based. Schedules may be one full day per week or two evenings per week or possibly two morning or afternoon sessions.
• Menu of services. Classes and services are offered at a variety of times and locations. Students work with the adult college transitions counselor to plan their schedules and complete course requirements.

Yes. Many adult education programs offer college preparation classes as part of their regular offerings. A student enrolled in one of these classes is NOT considered a Maine College Transitions Program student for purposes of the grant. The student would be considered an adult transitions student for subsidy or AEFLA reporting purposes.
