Do you know someone who might enjoy College Guild courses?
There are very few requirements for becoming a College Guild student! Anyone currently incarcerated in a US federal or state prison is welcome, regardless of previous level of education attained. College Guild is free of religious or political affiliation and welcomes students of all identities.
If you know an incarcerated person who would be interested in College Guild courses, you are invited to email us at info@collegeguild.org to ask for an enrollment package to be sent to your loved one. Additionally, your loved one is welcome to mail us themselves.
Any request must include:
-
Inmate name
-
Inmate number
-
Inmate mailing address
Currently College Guild does not use the inmate email system CorrLinks and you should email us directly.
If we have a waitlist at the time of your inquiry, your loved one's name will be added to the waitlist, and they will receive an enrollment packet when their turn arrives.
It is important to be aware that individuals studying with College Guild must have access to envelopes, paper, writing utensils, and stamps. Our courses are free to incarcerated people, but they must be able to provide their own postage. Because of prison regulations, we are not able to mail stamps to students.
