I understand that applying to Mid Michigan College TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) does not guarantee acceptance into the program. I may be fully accepted, provisionally accepted, or denied based on the need for services, academic record, academic preparedness and progress, credit hours, financial aid status, and level of engagement.
Students on Financial Aid Warning, Approved Appeal, or on Academic Probation may be provisionally accepted until they are meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress.
I understand that if I do not meet the expectations and academic goals, I may be ineligible for the Mid TRIO-SSS program.
I am committed to my education, academic goals, and completion of my certificate and/or degree. I need to be fully engaged and strive for 100% classroom attendance and participation. I will meet the program expectations within my four years of eligibility:
- Complete 100% of the courses I enroll in each semester or seek assistance if not, and maintain a semester cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher
- Complete ORT 101/102 (winter semester workshop series)
- Contact with Success Coach two times per semester
- Contact with Career Coach at least one time
- Participate in one give-back (volunteering activity)
- Participate in at least one workshop
- Participate in at least one cultural enrichment activity
- Participate in at least one of the following: job shadow or college/university visit
I hereby authorize the Mid TRIO SSS program staff to:
- Gather information about my academic progress (placement test scores, GPA, earned credits, transcripts, tutoring sessions, etc.) and financial aid status prior to acceptance and during the program including, but not limited to, transfer to a four-year institution.
- Information about academic accommodations, if I meet disability status.
- Report my eligibility and financial aid status to the U.S. Department of Education.
- Use photographs of me (individual and group) for informing others about TRIO SSS.
- Use aggregate data to promote and inform Mid students, faculty, and staff about TRIO SSS.
- Require that I provide documentation, upon request, to verify the information reported.
I understand that this form will become part of my TRIO SSS file at Mid Michigan College.
