TRIO/Student Support Services offers personal, transitional,
and
academic support to students from first-generation,
low-income, and
disability backgrounds, enabling them to persist
and graduate from
California State University San Marcos.
TRIO/Student Support
Services (SSS) is a
TRIO program funded by the
U.S. Department of
Education.
TRIO/SSS has been hosted at Cal
State San Marcos since
1993 and is currently funded to provide
support to 200 students from first-generation,
low-income and disability backgrounds. The primary purpose of
TRIO/SSS is to
increase the retention and graduation rates of
student participants. In addition, TRIO/SSS
collaborates with other student service departments, including
the
Educational Opportunity Program, to maximize educational
opportunities for students and
create a positive campus climate
that welcomes the involvement and unique contributions
of TRIO/SSS
students.
