EXCEL/Student Support Services (SSS)
EXCEL/SSS is an academic support program that serves low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities who are enrolled at Mineral Area College and who have the potential to earn an associate's degree. The primary goals of EXCEL/SSS are to retain students until they graduate from Mineral Area College and to assist students in the transfer process. In order to achieve these goals, EXCEL/SSS provides individual and group tutoring in all general education courses and many electives; advising services including assistance with course selection, degree planning, registration, and applying for financial aid; economic literacy information; assisting students in identifying, researching and applying to four-year universities; and accompanying students on visits to college campuses. Scholarships and SSS Supplemental Grant Aid are provided, subject to availability of funding. Use this link to join EXCEL and book a tutoring appointment: excelmac.simplybook.me
