Gateway to TRiO SSS Services

Curriculum & Instruction 160, Learning Strategies for Higher Education, is a valuable two-credit study skills class only open to TRiO-eligible students. C&I 160 serves as the gateway to TRiO SSS membership and all the other services we offer. If you are eligible for TRiO SSS and would like to take C&I 160, stop by the TRiO SSS office in Lommasson 180 (inside Lommasson 154) to get permission to register using an override. Once we provide an electronic override, you can log on to CyberBear and register for the course.

Feel free to e-mail us at TRiO.SSS@mso.umt.edu or stop by our office with questions.
