First Generation Student Services
 
The First Generation Student Initiative guides and supports first generation learners throughout their college experience.
The goals of the First Generation Student Initiative are:
  • to encourage student success by offering ongoing support and academic services for first generation learners in preparation for their careers
  • to work in partnership with other college services to promote student success
 
What is a First Generation Student?
A first generation student is one whose parents or guardians have not attended a postsecondary institution. If a sibling of the student has attended a College or University, but the parent(s) or guardian(s) have not, the student is still considered a First Generation Student.
