SAGE TRiO has a well-defined progression of services to help you succeed at LCCC, graduate, and/or successfully transfer to a four-year institution.

 

In your first year with SAGE, we will help you: receive academic advising, create your ‘Master Academic Plan,’ connect with faculty mentors, navigate financial aid and literacy processes, secure tutoring and explore career options. In your second year, we will continue to work with you on the previous services but add transfer advising. Transfer is very important to explore at least a year before the actual transfer occurs. If you continue to need SAGE services beyond your second year, we will help you solidify your career goals and continue to mentor you as you prepare to transfer and/or graduate.

Not only will this progression of services help you achieve your academic goals, it will help SAGE meet the necessary objectives written into our federal grant. You will sign a ‘Partnership Agreement’ when you become a SAGE participant. This partnership highlights the responsibilities you have, including preparing for and attending classes; applying for financial aid and scholarships; attending tutoring, counseling and advising sessions, etc.
