| 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 Marti
Hunter. 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.
