The Student Support Services (SSS) program at the University of Connecticut works to expand access for first‑generation, low‑income, and underrepresented students by providing a strong network of academic and personal support. Through services such as tutoring, counseling, advising, and peer mentoring, SSS helps students navigate university life and achieve their academic goals.

The Student-Athlete Success Program (SASP) supports the overall missions of the University and Department of Athletics by providing resources dedicated to empowering student-athletes to become independent thinking, successful, ethical student learners. SASP and our students are expected to uphold the highest level of academic inquiry while promoting intellectual growth and expression, social responsibility and citizenship. SASP is committed to outreach, service, and leadership training, which promotes the holistic development of our students and acts as a foundation for lifelong learning.
