A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
Gateway to College is a unique and innovative dual enrollment high school diploma completion program that gives disengaged students or students at risk of dropping out, ages 16-20, an opportunity to re-engage in education. In 2000, Portland Community College created the Gateway to College program to help reconnect high school dropouts with their education. In 2003, Gateway to College captured the attention of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which has funded the replication of Gateway to College across our nation. MCC's Gateway program is the first in Nebraska and the 28th college selected to offer the Gateway program.
