TRiO

Howdy fellow students,

Today I'm going to talk about TRiO and CLiC  Pretty much if you're enrolled in  TRiO ( or SSS , or TRiO SSS they are all the same thing)  then you will be in CLiC a lot.

To be enrolled in TRiO you must:
-Be a U.S. citizen
-Be enrolled in a 2-year degree program
-Be highly motivated to get your degree

Also you should meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Are you a first generation college student ( parents did not complete a degree or go) ?
- Are you low Income ?
- Do you have a Disability?


If you qualify you should  think about applying , if you apply before the end of the quarter you should be all set for fall .

If you do get set up you can opt in for a student mentor who will be there for advice, support and to help you get the most out of TRiO-SSS!

If you've read  this far, you may want to know what you'll  get out of it! In addition to being much more likely than most students to graduate from the support  of being enrolled (1), TRiO is federally funded and is endowed with scholarships that apply only to students enrolled in their program(2) in addition to that TRiO has tutors in CLIC -  it is very relaxed in TRiO and if you'd rather have more privacy than the writing center or MAST affords then this would likely be a good fit for you .


This is the cheesy part,  like in the hair club for men  commercial, where I let you know I'm not blowing smoke because I'm in TRiO too!  Don't hesitate to ask if you want to know anything about it!

Degree Audit Tutorial For SSCC

Howdy,

When I picked a topic for my ( or, our for fellow classmates) CMST275 class I thought about  how I could make my plans, which are no doubt the same plans many other people have, into a blog.  I thought, is this enough information to make something out of it?

I didn't think very much about  writing something substantial (200-500 words min), relevant , easy to read information that has personal significance but after I started thinking about how little I was going to have to say about it, the more I  thought of to say.

The easiest way to see if you are on track in getting your degree is to use the Track my Progress: Degree Audit feature under " Student online services" on the right hand side bar on the South Seattle Community College site.

I converted my awkward picture by picture tutorial to a power point at the suggestion of my super helpful professor R. McCarthy. Thank you!

Before you start, you should have the south seattle main page open.
