Stay alert for updates on tutoring schedule and study sessions. The mission of Student Support Services (SSS) is to increase the enrollment, retention, and graduation of low income and/or first generation college students from the University of Connecticut. Selection of students is determined by a variety of factors, including high school grades, rank in class, SAT scores, family educational backg
round, and /or socio-economic status. Selected students are contingently accepted to UConn based on their successful attendance and completion of a 6-week pre-collegiate program for which each student can earn up to seven college credits prior to fall matriculation. The program introduces students to the rigors of university life, helps them develop the discipline and skills required to succeed academically, and provide orientation to the general campus community and facilities. SSS staff members act as liaisons between faculty, students, and campus resources; also each student is assigned a SSS counselor who provides support and advocacy for the student throughout their tenure at UConn. The Center also offers academic support services in the form of individual and group tutoring; peer advising; academic, personal, and professional developmental workshops; study groups; First Year Experience courses; supplemental instruction; as well as academic, cultural and social group activities. Students may be accepted to the Storrs or the five regional campuses at Avery Point, Hartford, Stamford, Torrington and Waterbury.
