JumpStart

JumpStart gets you ready to jump right in—you’ll be all settled into your new home at FLC before the semester even begins. Build relationships with other motivated students and FLC faculty and staff. Sharpen your skills in writing and research (composition) or math and academic skills and time management.

Connect with student support services, get involved in student activities and leadership opportunities, and get a head start in finding a study-life balance to stay happy and well. You'll still have plenty of time to explore Durango, get familiar with FLC, and hang out with your classmates. You’ll feel right at home here before you know it! 

When: August 19-24, 2023
Where: Fort Lewis College & Durango Community
Number of Students: 40
Student Cost: $50 - Includes all housing, food, and activities!

Most JumpStart participants have been invited to the program via email. If you didn’t receive an email invitation or have questions about your eligibility for the program, please contact your Admission Counselor for registration details and process.
