The goal of the College Transition Program is to help Maine adults successfully transition to college and earn a degree. College Transition in adult education works by: providing classes in subjects such as study skills, college writing, algebra, biology and chemistry; helping with completion of applications and financial aid forms; and providing college counseling and career planning. Services are available at low or no cost to the individual.
