Student Success Program
El Camino College has two types of probation: Academic Probation and Progress Probation.
The purpose of probation is to encourage a student having academic difficulties seek
appropriate guidance and support in formulating and achieving goals.
We are here to support you. The Student Success Program (SSP) offers counseling and
advising, in addition to a variety of enhancement workshops, and can also connect
you with additional support services on and off campus to help you be successful in
college.
