Massachusetts Inclusive Concurrent Enrollment Initiative (MAICEI)The MAICEI program at Cape Cod Community College is a fully inclusive postsecondary program for adult high school students (aged 18–22), with intellectual/developmental disabilities. A Building Block for the Future
Participation in the MAICEI program is contingent on a partnership agreement with the student’s sending high school district. MAICEI is a Commonwealth of Massachusetts grant funded program through the Department of Higher Education. The expectation is that the program will move towards full sustainability with the understanding that partner districts will contribute to the overall cost of the program. Tuition, books, and related supplies have been covered by the program traditionally. Support services such as tutoring, coaching, and advising, are also part of the MAICEI experience. CEI Program welcomes students who meet the following criteria:
Getting StartedStudents who are interested in the MAICEI Program at CCCC should contact the special education director in their school district. Interested students must complete an application for acceptance to the program. 2019 MAICEI Grant Student Application Student Spotlight
Malachi’s favorite thing to do on campus is to walk around and see what’s going on. He is most proud of the fact that the college experience has been easier than he thought it would be. “The support and tutoring is really helpful. I am proud of my time management skills.” Malachi has also taken mid-term and final exams for challenging classes. “As I learned more and became confident in what I learned I felt prepared for the exams. They were mostly computer exams.” Malachi would advise future MAICEI students to “use as much time as you can to learn and study the subject and consider how in-depth the class will go.” Malachi has done a lot of small group work in college courses and finds that, “interesting. It’s less independent…so when you get stuck on something there is someone there to help you with ideas. You’re not doing it by yourself. I felt the same as everyone else in my group and I felt I had something to contribute.” Malachi says, “The best part about going to college is how naturally it fits into my schedule. I had never thought about going to college before. I have cousins and family in college and now I can talk about my experience with them. My brother just graduated from college.” Related Links: http://www.mass.edu/strategic/read_maicei.asp
