Student Support Services CLASS/PACE is a program funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment inc. It is a support program designed to improve the retention and graduation rates of students who needed additional assistance to succeed in college. The program’s academic support services include academic, career, and financial support. The program is adapted to fit the individuality of the student’s needs as well as providing general academic support for the benefit of the entire student body.

CLASS/PACE, in conjunction with other Student Affairs Departments such as Academic Advising, Financial Aid, and Admissions, provides specifically designed Seminars with an intensive one-week pre-college transition program for all students enrolled into the Student Support Services program. The CLASS program and PACE program provide those tools required to help students reach academic potential and success.

Participants begin with a one-week intensive orientation program using current college study skills curriculum. This program is designed to assist students in identifying who they are as a learner and orientate them to the demands of college life. As each student continues through his/her first year at Calumet College of St. Joseph he/she will continue to participate in two classes a month focusing on skills necessary for success. Throughout the year the Student Support Services center will continue assessing the student’s academic proficiency. Other activities provided through the program are:
