BASE Program

Admitted students will receive an invitation if they are eligible for BASE. Contact the Director, Dr. Chelsea Kaufman, if you would like her to review your eligibility.

The BASE program will pay for the housing during the summer II session. If you are staying in transition housing between summer II and the fall semester, however, you will be responsible for arranging for and paying for that. 

No, these will be provided on Canvas (the website we use for our courses) or you will be able to borrow a copy for the summer. These will be provided when you arrive. 

No, we will have a brief orientation session for families on the move in day and students will attend orientation as part of the program. 

Throughout the week, meals at the Wingate cafeteria will generally be provided and paid for by the BASE program. We will also provide food, admission tickets, and transportation for any off-campus activities. However, you may still want to bring money and/or purchase some food if you want to buy any extras such as being able to have snacks for your room, go get a coffee, etc. while you are here.
