The Office of Student Life provides many services to support students through its various offices. The Diversity Center and Student Academic Support Center(SASC) within the student life office offer many programs such as Student Support Services. SSS is considered a retention program that serves students who are income eligible, first generation, and students with disabilities while they pursue and complete a degree in higher education.
