The PASS Program is designed to help students who may need some assistance in meeting college requirements or academic goals due to academic or behavioral difficulties. Referral can occur before (through the Alternate Admissions Program) or after admission to Jefferson College. Faculty, advisors, program directors, or any JCHS staff member can refer a student to PASS.
After referral, PASS students meet with a counselor for an assessment, decide on mutually agreed upon goals and methods to achieve them. Resources for PASS students include, but are not limited to, study skills, academic counseling, personal counseling, regular meetings with advisors, and tutoring.
Students do not need to wait for a referral to PASS by a faculty or staff member, but they can make a self-referral by calling the Student Affairs secretary at (540) 985-8395. |
