Student Support Services
Mission
Student Support Services will help students relieve or eliminate personal and familial tangible challenges and hardships that affect their ability to achieve their academic goals. Through the development of individualized success plans, case management, innovative programming, and referrals to a network of providers, Student Support Services will improve student wellness and success.
What we do
The Office of Student Support Services can connect you and your family with resources to help relieve or even eliminate tangible challenges that impede on your college success. We will meet with you; get to know you and your life circumstances in a safe, affirming, private, and friendly environment. We will provide support and help you identify ways to overcome obstacles. Before feeling like you need to withdraw from your classes or taking a leave from the college, come see us.
We can help!
If you have an unforeseen emergency that is impacting your ability to remain enrolled and succeed, we can help!
The Office of Student Support Services, with support from the Gerstner Foundation, provides Emergency Aid Grants (EAGs) to students who experience an acute financial hardship (an unexpected, short-term situation that requires immediate assistance). To qualify, students must be taking 6 credits, enrolled in a degree or certificate program, and hold a 2.0 GPA if it is not their first semester. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
