Student Support Services Participation Contract

I agree to participate in the Student Support Services Program as outlined in the requirements listed below and as discussed with the program staff.

1. I agree to attend classes regularly. I understand that regular classroom attendance is defined by Student Support Services as having no more than three unexcused absences in any course during the semester.
2. Reasonable progress in coursework is the basic objective of Student Support Services activities. If in the opinion of the Student Support Services staff, an effort to make progress has not been made, I understand this contract will be void.
3. I agree to attend regularly scheduled appointments with a member of the Student Support Services staff. There will be at least one (1) to two (2) appointment(s) per month. These appointments are primarily for the purpose of discussing academic progress and scheduling needed services. All appointments can be held via email or in-person.
4. I agree to attend at least one cultural activity during each semester. Examples of cultural activities are: art shows, concerts, academic travels, dinner theatre, and personal growth workshops.
5. I agree to report participation in other cultural activities or workshops not sponsored by the Student Support Services Program.  I understand that proof of participation is required.
6. I agree to attend specialized group sessions/retreats, etc., each semester. I understand I will be notified by the Student Support Services staff of these sessions.
7. I agree, if placed on academic probation or early alert, to participate in mandatory regularly scheduled study sessions and academic interventions as directed by the program counselor.
8. I agree to participate in career exploration if required, two (2) workshops per semester, and two (2) sections from the Online Financial Literacy program.  I agree to participate in individual and group testing and counseling, if requested, to determine cultural, career, educational, and personal needs.
9. If in spite of my participation in all of the above requirements, I am suspended from the college for poor academic performance, my continued enrollment in the TRiO Student Support Services program could be in jeopardy.  I understand that the Program Director may recommend to the VP for Student Affairs that I be readmitted for the next semester. Recommendation for readmission to the college under these circumstances is totally dependent on my participation in the program and available vacant slots.
