Accepted Participants
BridgeX
BridgeX is a five-week long, online course that supports our program participants with "bridging" their high school experience to their Freshman year at Creighton University. The program requires about an hour a week of dedication, and gives incoming SSS freshmen an opportunity to:
- Become familiar with BlueLine, Creighton's online course platform;
- Keep their skills sharp with academic course prep;
- Get to know their SSS peers.
The course is required for all incoming SSS Freshmen.
2023 Summer Preview
Summer Preview is Creighton's summer orientation program that focuses on providing information and resources to new students and families during the summer months. This "preview" of what is to come in the fall semester will help set up both students and families for a successful transition into the Creighton Community. We highly encourage SSS participants to attend one of the sessions.
