Program Requirements

About GSP Program Requirements

To receive priority registration and be eligible for Essential & Critical Needs Support, students must complete the Individual Check-in surveys each quarter.

To be eligible for Opportunity Grants, Experiential Learning Pathway, or Summer Support, students must complete all 3 program requirements each quarter.

Requirements may be completed during the quarter of the request and/or in the quarter immediately before the request.

If you do not think you will be able to complete the requirements, please make an appointment with Valeri Garcia, Director, as early as possible to discuss your circumstances and next steps.

  • Attend Community Activity

    Attend at least one Community Activity per quarter: Community activities are workshops, seminars, discussions, and events open to all GSP students and aimed at building community, creating learning opportunities, and networking with campus resources.

    For Community Activities, check the "Events" page.

    Cohort Meetups are not community activities. Check with your Cohort Leader for more information about your cohort meetups.

  • Cohort Connection

    Students are placed into cohorts based on their year in school to provide intentional support and guidance throughout their graduation pathway.

    Students must attend at least one Cohort Meetup per quarter OR connect with their Cohort Leader to:

    • Discuss academic progress and goals
    • Identify barriers and challenges early
    • Explore campus resources and support
    • Celebrate and share successes

    Check with your Cohort Leader for Meetups or ways to connect.

  • Quarterly Individual Check-in Surveys

    Students must complete a brief check-in survey each quarter to reflect on their individual progress, goals, interests, and challenges, and to share questions or areas where they may need support.

    This information helps GSP understand student needs, identify challenges early, celebrate progress, and provide timely and relevant services and support.

    NOTE: Students requesting support for Essential & Critical Needs or be eligible for priority registration must complete these forms.
