Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally funded TRIO program designed to provide free academic support to at-risk college students. SSS offers academic advisement, enrollment, peer mentoring, free tutoring, financial aid information, special classes, and a variety of enrichment workshops and cultural activities to Cameron participants.
Participation in SSS provides personal and academic enrichment for students who may face economic, social, and cultural barriers to higher education. SSS maintains information on campus and community resources and refers members to appropriate offices and agencies.
Focusing on building basic academic skills in the areas of remedial classes, SSS members are given priority into SSS sections of beginning algebra, intermediate algebra, and developmental writing. Tutoring labs staffed by faculty and trained peer tutors provide regular assistance for Math, English, Science, basic computer skills, and reading/study strategies. Additionally, tutoring for general education courses may be arranged on an individual basis.
Note: The U.S. Department of Education funds 100% of Cameron's Student Support Services operation. For the 2005-2006 program year, a total of $358,403 was provided by a federal Title IV grant.
