Achieve your Goals with Student Success Support

TRiO Student Support Services and the LRSC PowerSkills Center offer students valuable resources to help them succeed. Together, TRiO and PowerSkills support students with study skills, tutoring, and the development of educational and career goals. These programs provide an ideal study environment, featuring tutoring services, technology and textbook lending libraries, and a dedicated team of knowledgeable staff ready to assist with any academic or personal needs.
 

TRiO & PowerSkills Services

The TRiO/PowerSkills staff consists of three advisors with specific areas of expertise designed to assist a diverse population of students. Advisors provide mentoring regularly to help students complete their associate degrees through a dynamic plan of action individualized for each student.

TRiO/PowerSkills advisors work very closely with students to develop individual plans of study including support of major and career selection as well as transfer advice and assistance. Students can schedule transfer visits to North Dakota four-year institutions, tour campuses, and meet with advisors at the university of their choice.

TRiO/PowerSkills students may request tutoring in courses they are having difficulty with after being fully admitted to the program. Tutoring services are FREE OF CHARGE to TRiO/PowerSkills students but consist of a separate application process and specific student responsibilities.

TRiO/PowerSkills advisors, as well as professional tutors, offer weekly group study labs according to student requests and needs. Study labs offered range from math and chemistry labs to writing and psychology labs. Times and availability will vary per semester.

Students are encouraged to complete training in financial literacy as part of their plan of study. One-on-one assistance is also offered in tax and FAFSA (Federal Assistance For Student Aid) completion. 

Students fully admitted to the program and in good standing may request calculators, laptops, and/or textbooks on a first-come, first-serve basis. Student Success also offers students private computers, printing, and study space.

The Disability Services Coordinator provides accommodations to students who request assistance and complete and submit the appropriate documentation. Services include alternative testing, note-taking, priority seating, and various technologies to assist students.
