SSS encourages and assists low income, first-generation students, and students with disabilities in the completion of a post-secondary education by providing academic support. We assist students with short-term decision making and long term planning, connecting them to resources and facilitating their ability to become effective agents of their own learning and personal development.
Tutoring is offered free of charge for all SSS members.
SSS Members are given access to first-day class registration. When visiting the Access Periods/Time Tickets registration page, look for the "All Other Special Groups and TX State Employees" descriptor for your access time.
If you require a calculator or textbook for class or other academic purposes, SSS offers a loan program. Please come by the office for more information.
SSS offers access to a computer lab equipped with 8 desktop computers each connected to the on-site printers.
When you join SSS, you join a network of students who are dedicated to helping each other succeed. You also receive guidance from a designated success coach who you will meet with, one-on-one, throughout the semester to help you succeed academically and professionally.
SSS hosts and attends many workshops and seminars over the course of a semester designed to improve or teach skills to students in order to provide them with the tools they need to succeed - whether it be financially, academically, or professionally. There are also planned career trips which showcase a potential employer to educate our students about their future possibilities.
First-generation college students: neither legal guardian/parent completed a 4-year college degree in the U.S.
