I understand that the purpose of the STEP program is to help me develop my academic skills and explore professional careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) and Licensed professions. I also realize that other support services (SAT and Regents exam prep, advising, mentoring, job shadowing, College Success Seminars and STEM Academy enrichment activities) will be offered to me.
I understand that all Le Moyne College STEP students are required to attend an orientation to review program activities, student expectations. After orientation I will review the Le Moyne College STEP Student Agreement with my parent/guardian and return the completed the STEP Student Agreement Form to STEP staff.
1. I agree to maintain a grade point average of 80 % in all of my Regents Math and Science courses and an overall grade point average of 80% throughout my high school career. I also understand that the STEP program expects me to try to earn an Advanced Regents Diploma.
