Student Support Services

Welcome to Student Support Services (SSS) at Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania, a unit within the Department of Academic Development & Counseling (ADC) . The Student Support Services program's primary objective is to promote the academic success of program participants, leading to higher retention and graduation rates.

All Lock Haven University students are assigned to a department faculty adviser and assignments are based on students' primary intended major. Lock Haven students can also be assigned to an Exploratory Studies faculty adviser, spending time during the first year completing curriculum requirements for various majors of interest.

All first semester SSS participants are assigned to an SSS Peer Mentor, an upperclass Junior or Senior SSS student who assists participants with their college transition. The Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania SSS program is proposed to serve 230 participants.
