Welcome to S3 by Genesa Camacho

Our Mission Statement

The Ranger College Student Support Services program is dedicated to providing an individualized educational support system to our students to contribute to the cultural, social, moral, and intellectual development of each student we serve.

We work with the students to prepare a Student Success Plan (SSP) which gathers information about their school, life, educational goals, and career goals, and then offer the following services to help them reach those goals:

  • Academic Advising
  • Academic Skill Building
  • Academic Tutoring
  • Advice and Assistance in Postsecondary Course Selection
  • Assistance in Applying to a 4-Year Institution
  • Assistance in Applying for Federal Student Aid
  • Career Seminar and Guidance Services
  • Computer Lab
  • Cultural Activities
  • Financial Literacy Workshops
  • Personal and Professional Development 
  • Study Skills, Time Management and Organizational Workshops
  • Transfer Workshops 
  • Visits to 4-Year Universities

The Student Support Services program is funded by the U.S. Department of Education.

College life can be challenging, so we at Student Support Services try to make it easier for you, and at the same time have a little fun. We are including a link to a website to further help you with college transition and ways to improve yourself as a student and as a person. Please visit MindTools for these helpful resources. Feel free to stop by our office, located in the Student Success Center, if we can be of any assistance.

Why participate in TRiO Student Support Services?

Students who participate in TRIO programs like SSS have access to all the resources and guidance to help them be as successfuly as possible. Because of this, our program regularly reports:

  • 95% of students return for a second year of college
  • 98% are in good academic standing with at least a 2.0
  • 95% graduate or successfully transfer to a four-year university.

Our average GPA for 2024-2025 was 3.2 and many of our students graduated with honors. In addition we helped nearly 100% of our graduating sophomores secure financial aid, successfully apply and gain acceptance, and/or navigate the transfer process. The bottom line is that TRIO Works.
