Programs for Academic Support and Studies (PASS) strives
to improve the persistence rate and academic opportunity for students
who enter Frostburg State University by providing them with an assortment
of programs and services.
The Learning Assistance Programs (LAP) offered
by PASS attempt to accomplish this by helping students develop pre-college
skills and knowledge, college-level skills and knowledge, and their
metacognitive processes, including problem resolution and learning-to-learn
skills.
Disability Support Services (DSS) strives to
facilitate more equal academic opportunities and enhance functional
learning for students with disabilities by providing services such as
note-takers, readers, and accommodated testing facilities for students
with documented disabilities.
Student Support Services (SSS), which is funded
by the U.S. Department of Education, is a comprehensive support program
for low-income/first-generation college students and students with disabilities.
The aim of SSS is to help these students persist at FSU until
they graduate.
Services include academic advising, financial aid counseling,
professional tutoring, and study skills development.
