About the Sophomore Success Program
The Sophomore Success Program (SSP) at Cal Poly is designed to provide resources that assist students in their academic planning and academic achievement. Defining academic goals, exposure to senior project opportunities, and creating a map of coursework for future quarters are all areas which sophomores will receive assistance.

Success Program:
Goal No. 1: Academic Planning Provide students with skills and knowledge to create and or renew academic and career goals. Goal No. 2: Community To prepare students to become integrated members of the campus and local communities. Goal No. 3: Autonomy To engage students in the process of becoming effective self advocates and autonomous adults with the ability to affect change in their lives.
