What is Student Support Services?

The Student Support Services (SSS) program (TRiO) provides assistance to help undergraduates meet their academic demands and graduate from the University of Oregon. The program assists students whose socioeconomic, educational, and personal situations suggest they may experience significant challenges while working toward their bachelor’s degrees. At the University of Oregon, SSS participants’ graduation rates exceed those of the general student body.
