Support services for students
Support Services provide members of special populations equal access to recruitment, enrollment and placement activities, the full range of educational programs available, as well as comprehensive career guidance and counseling services. No one shall be discriminated against on the basis of his/her status as a member of a special population.
The Support Services Office strives to encourage independence, to assist students in realizing their academic potential and to facilitate the elimination of physical, programmatic and attitudinal barriers. Services for single parents and displaced homemakers include counseling, advocacy support, community referrals and networking with agencies. Some students may qualify to participate in a book loan service.
Students are considered part of a special population if:
- They are economically disadvantaged
- They are educationally disadvantaged
- They are a displaced homemaker
- They are a single parent
- They are preparing for non-traditional training and employment
Self-identification is voluntary. However, the Support Services Office can be of service
to students only to the extent that their individual needs are made known. Students
