TRiO & PowerSkills Services

The TRiO/PowerSkills staff includes three advisors who support a diverse student population. They provide mentoring and create individualized action plans. These guide students through associate degrees. Advisors also assist with major and career selection, transfer planning, and visit to four-year institutions in North Dakota. 

TRiO/PowerSkills students may request free tutoring after full admission to the program. Tutoring requires a separate application and includes specific student responsibilities.

TRiO/PowerSkills advisors and tutors coordinate weekly group study labs based on student requests. Labs may cover math, chemistry, writing, or psychology. Times and availability vary each semester.

Students are encouraged to complete financial literacy training as part of their study plan. One-on-one assistance is offered for taxes and FAFSA completion.

Students fully admitted and in good standing may request calculators, laptops, or textbooks. Requests are first-come, first-served. Student Success also provides private computers, printing, and study space.

The Disability Services Coordinator provides accommodations to students who request assistance and submit documentation. Services include alternative testing, note-taking support, priority seating, and assistive technologies.
