| Upon becoming an
SSS participant, you are assigned
an academic co-advisor within the
SSS program and are expected to
have contact with that advisor a
minimum of five times a semester
the first year, and no less than
three times a semester for subsequent
years. There are three SSS staff
advisors including Cheryl Contino-Conner,
Peter Buck, and Laurie Butler. Advisor
assignment depends on the program
of study you are seeking.
SSS maintains records of your grades, copies
of registration and drop/add forms, program
requirements, and notes of all advisor contacts
made with you, your instructors, and outside
agency counselors and service providers.
The purpose of such thoroughness is to be
able to afford you with the most accurate
and appropriate information, guidance, and
services possible. When you demonstrate
significant attainment, improvement in academic
achievement, or fall short of stated academic
goals, we believe it is important to acknowledge
such endeavors, to work through academic
difficulties, and to assist you in redirection.
Motivation to attempt the new and unfamiliar,
perseverance when things get tough, and
the willingness to seek and use available
resources deserves acknowledgment and appreciation.
