How Can I Join Student Support Services?

A student must fill out and submit a completed SSS Program application. Once the application is submitted with all required attachments, the student will be interviewed by a SSS Student Development Counselor. After the interview session student will be notified of his/her acceptance into the program. This is a very competitive process as the program can only serve 400 students per year and slots only open up when a student graduates or transfers. Fill out your application ASAP. You can obtain an application from the SSS office or print a copy from our website.
