All TRIO students must follow our Student Responsibility Contract to participate in the program.
Academic Counseling: Three counselor contacts are required for each semester.
Orientation: Attend a one time, mandatory new student orientation.
Education Plan: Complete and maintain a comprehensive educational plan
Priority Registration: For each semester, TRIO students are given early priority registration dates to register
for classes.
Other Considerations
New Students: New students must be full time (12 or more units).
Academic Progress: TRIO students are expected to maintain a grade point average of “C” (2.0) or better.
Limits
Students who do not meet the responsibilities every semester will be withdrawn from
the program.
Once a student completes 70 degree applicable units or 6 consecutive semesters, they
are no longer eligible for TRiO services.
High Unit Majors: Students will continue in the program beyond 70 units when their majors are STEM or High Unit Majors.
Examples: RN= 128.25 units; Engineering Technology=108 units;and Engineering=98 units
