What does the term “Monitor” mean in relationship to Student Support Services?
Students are initially assigned to an advisor for both the SSS project and the Vocational Education program. These academic advisors provide the services described in question #2. At this level, intensive support is provided to retain students and ensure that college-level functions are achieved. As participants become more focused on career tracks and transfer to academic career programs, the advising role is relinquished to a faculty member in the new department. Grant staff continue to “monitor” the student’s performance and render services as outlined by project guidelines together with the faculty advisor.
