The College Opportunity Program (COP) is designed to admit a limited number of students who meet most, but not all, of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke's admission requirements. Ideally, these would be students who are motivated to attend college and who have better than average high school grades, but whose standardized test scores are too low for regular admission. These students join a special cohort group and take Composition and Freshman Seminar courses together.
During Freshman Orientation, students take Placement Tests and preregister for classes with the support and guidance of the COP staff who serve as the students' advisors. Students come for advisement conferences every two weeks and a close mentoring relationship is established.
In the fall semester, students will enroll in either ENG 0104 or ENG 1050, courses in the Composition sequence, which are taught by the COP faculty. Instructors offer Writing Labs that support the Composition courses, where students can revise papers and develop their writing skills.
When a COP student finishes ENG 1060, provided he/she has the necessary GPA to continue at the University, his/her status becomes the same as a regularly admitted student.
