• Extra help during the student’s Racer Nation Orientation visit (No additional fee). SDS staff members are available to help with the selection of courses.

• Smooth Move Into College - (Fee is approximately $150). Incoming Project Pass freshmen will move into their ÌÇÐÄlogoÈë¿Ú residential college three full days before the rest of the incoming freshmen. This extra time allows for a more leisurely move in as well as provides two days of activities to ensure a more successful transition to college. (Vocational Rehabilitation may pay this fee). Participation in Smooth Move is required if taking CTS 101.

Project Mentor

Students can request 1-6 hours a week of mentoring. Students receive individualized assistance with learning effective strategies for organizing and studying course-related assignments. This work may include any of the following: content tutoring, organization/time management skills, writing skills and test-taking strategies.

> 2 hours of mentoring is recommended throughout each semester. We recommend this because 1 hour is typically reserved for organization and time management skills or individual classes. If you seek tutoring in multiple classes please consider 2 hours. It may be difficult to find a mentor for multiple classes for 1 hour.
