Student Support Services is one of four TRIO programs at Barton Community College. TRIO programs are funded through United States Department of Education grants and provide free services for eligible students to assist them in meeting their educational goals. The Barton Student Support Services (SSS) program is designed to meet student needs in all academic, career, transitional, and life skills areas. Each member of the Student Support Services staff is committed to helping students successfully complete a two-year degree, certificate program, or transfer to a four-year institution.
