Writing and Math Assistance
English and Math are two areas that
are crucial to students academic
and transfer success. Many times we
hear back from university students
who wish they would have sharpened
their skills in these areas while in
the comforts of a community
college. SSSP offers you this opportunity
with individual and/or group
assistance in these subjects. Students who
take advantage of these
services will not only succeed while at SAC,
but will be better prepared for
the university curriculum.
Priority Registration
Waiting to register for classes that
you need can be frustrating. As a member
of SSSP you will be able to
enroll in classes on the second day of registration,
every semester. This
will not only ensure that you are able to follow the
class schedule you
have planned, but guarantee transfer requirements are
met in a timely
manner.
Academic Advisement
Using your Education Plan as a
guide, we will work together to prepare the best
possible route for you
to achieve your academic goals. SSSP will work with you
to ensure that
you maintain good academic standing in order to keep you eligible
for
financial aid, scholarships, and transfer to a university.
Guidance through Transfer Process
For many students the transfer
process can be very confusing. SSSP will work
with each student to
streamline this process. From researching universities and
their
requirements, to filing paperwork on time, we will be with you each step
of
the way to make sure the transition to the university is as smooth as
possible.
Individualized Scholarship and
Financial Aid Assistance
Finding money for college is not
only difficult, but also time consuming. Many
students never apply and
miss out on assistance that could significantly help
finance their
education. Our staff will help you make sense of forms, applications,
and deadlines, while connecting you to resources that will allow you to
concentrate on more important things…. like your education.
Academic Learning Center
The Academic Learning Center
provides a quiet learning environment where
serious students come to
study, work on homework, and/or use computers.
Here students will find a
computer lab, a study area, and a conference room
for private, and/or group
study sessions.
Laptop Loan Program
After completing one semester as an
active SSSP student, you will become
eligible to borrow one of our
laptop computers. These computers are equipped
with Microsoft Office, and
have wireless internet capabilities for students on the go!
Personal and Professional
Development Workshops
SSSP offers student workshops in a
wide range of topics. From time management,
to finding money for
college, these workshops give students that extra bit of
information to
help you prepare for what ever personal or professional obstacles
they may encounter.
SSSP Grant
SSSP students, who are eligible for
a Pell Grant, can qualify for the SSSP Grant.
This competitive grant is
given to full-time SSSP students who are active in the
program, enrolled

a smooth transition into college may apply
to the SSSP Summer Bridge
Program. During the summer prior to your first
freshman semester, you

lectures, group
work, and team building exercises. Students will not only become
