Program Goals

We strive to have one academic, one social and one life-skills program a month. These programs help us to:

Provide access to student services and resources.
Provide access to academic support.
Retain students semester-over-semester.
Improve academic performance.
Ensure completion of courses, programs and, ultimately, a degree.

To support these goals, campus departments are collaborating to create a bridge for you to gain access to student services.
