TRIO student resources

TRIO contract

All TRIO participants are required to complete a Semester Contract. As a program participant, we ask that you make a commitment to yourself and to us in order that you may fully benefit from the services we have to offer. In this contract, you will set some tangible goals for yourself with the expectation that these goals will be met by the end of the semester. This contract will be completed during a meeting with your coach.

You will be asked for the following information:

  • Basic contact information
  • Select three TRIO activities from a provided list and include any notes regarding the activity.
  • Agree to the program values
  • Signature and date

TRIO needs assessment

All TRIO participants are required to complete a Needs Assessment form with their respective TRIO coach. Through this Needs Assessment, participants will understand, in detail, what the program offers and determine some of their specific needs for that current semester. The Needs Assessment form will also help guide participants as they complete their semester contracts. The Needs Assessment form will be completed during a meeting with your coach.

You will be asked for the following information:

  • Name
  • Review a list of provided services and make a selection based on your needs
  • Any notes about requested services
  • Signature and date

TRIO contract reflection

At the end of the semester, all participants are asked to reflect on the goals they set for themselves via their Semester Contracts. This reflection is an opportunity to gauge how successful students were in achieving their stated goals. All participants who wish to be considered for funding must complete this reflection.

Program evaluation

All non-graduating seniors are asked to provide our staff with feedback about their TRIO experience for a particular semester. Our program evaluation was created to give students an opportunity to provide this valuable feedback crucial to our staff. Program participants are asked to evaluate their experiences, as well as work with mentors, tutors and the overall programming during the semester.
