College Reach-Out Program The College Reach-Out Program (CROP) was established in 1983 by the Florida Legislature to motivate and prepare educationally disadvantaged low-income students in grades 6 through 12 to pursue and successfully complete a postsecondary education. Participants are students who otherwise would be unlikely to seek admission to a community college, state university, or independent postsecondary institution without special support and recruitment efforts. Funds are appropriated by the Legislature to the Department of Education and allocated competitively to postsecondar institutions around the state. Continuing Education Throughout the year the Continuing Education Program offers a variety of noncredit courses that are open to the public. Courses are held at all campus locations and at other convenient locations throughout Lake and Sumter Counties. Courses are offered weeknights, weekdays and Saturdays. Courses offered by Continuing Education are designed to meet the personal enrichment, vocational, and lifelong learning needs of the community. Courses that provide an opportunity for upgrading vocational skills and various programs required to maintain licenses are also provided by the College with the necessary continuing education units. Due to limited space, preregistration is required for all noncredit courses. Your satisfaction is important to us!
