It Pays To Succeed

The Student Success Incentive Program rewards students upon completion of two benchmarks in their academic journey: Completing your first comprehensive Education Plan ($50) or Preliminary Graduation Review ($50). 

One-time monetary awards will be provided to currently enrolled students as they complete each of the following benchmarks during their academic journey: 

• Benchmark #1: Complete your first comprehensive Education Plan - $50
• Benchmark #2: Preliminary Graduation Review - $50

A Comprehensive Student Educational Plan is created with the help of a counselor to determine the semester by semester courses needed to complete your degree, certificate  and/or transfer requirements. All students must complete an Education Plan to receive a prioritized registration date. To schedule an appointment with a counselor, please access our self-service scheduling appointment system.

For further assistance, please call the Counseling Department at (909) 652-6200 for the Rancho Counseling office, (909) 652-7400 for the Fontana Counseling office, or (909) 652-8120 for the Chino Counseling office. 

Students who are currently a Navigator who are near graduation (typically a semester away) are encouraged to meet with a counselor to check their progress toward meeting graduation requirements.

The Fall Student Success Incentive Program is active from August 12, 2024 through November 4, 2024.
