A University College Entrance Program (UCEP) is an education program in Canada, designed for adults who were unable to successfully complete Grade 12 level courses, but wish to go into a post secondary education. Many schools offer such a program, which allows a student to gain the necessary prerequisite courses.
UCEP programs helps students get the matriculation courses they need to go on to college and university study, giving them the skills, experience and knowledge that are essential for post-secondary success. Students may also enjoy field trips, theatre productions, and exposure to different area colleges and universities to become familiar with post-secondary education.
Similarly, UCEP students may receive individualized counseling support to help them work through any barriers to reaching their academic potential. Often, this means overcoming obstacles that prevented these individuals from completing their Grade 12 level courses in the first place.
Famous quotes containing the words university, college, entrance and/or program:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
If I lacked any thing.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“A ‘spasm band’ is a miscellaneous collection of a soap box, tin cans, pan tops, nails, drumsticks, and little Negro boys. When mixed in the proper proportions this results in the wildest shuffle dancing, accompanied by a bumping rhythm.”
—For the City of New Orleans, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
