Jump Start FAQs
Why should I attend Student Success Jump Start?
All new students are required to attend Jump Start to prepare for the new college experience. It’s important that you have an opportunity before the semester begins to learn what’s expected, how to be successful, and where to find resources.
Is this a repeat of everything I heard during my orientation?
No. Orientation gives you a great foundation for enrolling at Stark State, and Jump Start builds on orientation to provide you with specific tools and resources to be a successful student.
