What is Student Support Services?
Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally funded program that provides services and activities designed to increase the retention and graduation rates of eligible ANC students and facilitate the transfer rate of eligible students to four-year institutions.
The SSS Program promotes the development of a college climate supportive of the success of students. In addition to free tutoring, the program offers academic advising, career and personal counseling, and assistance in acquiring financial aid. SSS also provides various study skill workshops during the academic year to assist students in preparing for course-work and improving their grades.
Here's a glance at SSS on the national level. TRiO Student Support Services helps students stay in college until they earn their baccalaureate degrees. Participants, who include disabled college students, receive tutoring, counseling and remedial instruction. There are 199,956 students now being served at over 944 colleges and universities nationwide.
SSS offers qualified Arkansas Northeastern students:
Tutoring
As a participant, students can receive individual or small group tutoring from qualified peer or
professional tutors. Tutoring is available in developmental, general education and specific courses.
In addition, computer assisted tutoring is available on an individual basis in the PLATO lab, and
academic workshops are offered throughout the year.
Counseling and Advising
SSS representatives are available to all participants to provide academic advising and career and
personal counseling. Helping students make wise choices, develop better studying skills, explore
career opportunities and discover campus resources are just some of the ways we can help make
college life more successful and rewarding.
Cultural and Social Events
SSS participants can attend various cultural and social activities throughout the year to enrich their
college experiences and to allow opportunities to interact with other students outside of the classroom
setting.
Transfer Counseling and College Tours
Advisors provide information about four-year institutions and can assist students in securing admission
and financial aid assistance for enrollment in a four-year program. In addition, students can participate
in "transfer trips" taken throughout the year to four-year institutions of interest.
Mentoring
The SSS staff is well aware that college students have needs other than academic. Peer mentors are
available to interested students to assist them in college survival skills and stress reduction.
Financial Aid Assistance
SSS representatives can provide students with financial aid availability and can help decide which options
are best for each student. By using the computer program, FAFSA Express, financial aid is not only
easy, it's quick!!!
