We are here for you!

The PASS program provides additional support and guidance to help identify what might be keeping you from success, get back on track, and if needed, connect you to other CGCC and/or community resources. PASS program referrals can result in a one-time meeting or recurring support meetings throughout the term.

You can refer yourself for assistance, or a faculty member may refer you if they feel you can benefit from more personalized support beyond what they are able to provide. Once referred, you will be contacted by student services staff by phone and/or CGCC email. 

Here is a sampling of some of the assistance PASS can provide:

  • Student Success Skill Building:
    • Time Management 
    • Organization
    • Test-Taking Strategies
    • Study Habits 
    • Goal Setting 
  • Help with CGCC or Community Resources and Referrals
  • Assistance in communicating with faculty 
  • Information on college policies, student rights and responsibilities to make the best decision regarding your success
  • Regular check-in appointments for personal/academic support
  • Assistance with enrollment decision-making i.e. drop/withdraw information and consequences
    • For course planning, program information, and transfer assistance please contact your academic advisor

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About the PASS Program

Check this infographic for reasons a PASS referral may be submitted.

The PASS program is completely voluntary. If you receive an invite, we recommend completing an intake meeting, but it is not required.

The PASS program can serve as an assessment tool to help you decide which campus support resources are best for you, and provide referrals for any needs you have. You can also use PASS as an ongoing resource, especially if you want extra support advocating for yourself and navigating multiple areas of the college at once.

CGCC's Student Success Navigator serves as a guide who can help you smoothly navigate through your academic journey. Think of the Student Success Navigator as the ‘project manager’ of life at CGCC. They can track and follow up on any requests and troubleshoot as needed. They can also offer skill-building sessions on time management, organization, study habits, and more!

We always recommend an intake meeting, but if your schedule does not allow, we offer additional options for resource navigation:

  1. All PASS invites come with a self assessment option, students can fill out a form expanding on their needs and the Student Success Navigator will perform the referral process via email. To access the self assessment option, start by filling out the PASS program referral form.
  2. Students can find additional resources on the Current Students page or via the Resource Directory.

Yes! All are welcome in the PASS program, we are happy to have you whenever you are ready. Email pass@cgcc.edu to reconnect.

Usually, you will get an update for each step as your PASS referral (or self-referral) moves through the system. But there are a few reasons why this may not be happening. Feel free to contact pass@cgcc.edu to see what the status of your PASS referrals are.
