Student Achievement Services (SAS)

Clarkson SAS is unique because we offer a one stop shop to integrate Student Achievement Services typically associated with the Registrar, Advising, the Bursar and Financial Aid offices into an intricate and collaborative network.

Not only can we fulfill most student transactional objectives, but we understand circumstances related to billing, financial aid and academic progress supporting career aspirations, allowing us to provide advisement that takes all of these into consideration.

Our faculty and staff educators care about you and are committed to showing it every day.

At the heart of SAS are professional educators who are available to offer a concierge approach to assist students with degree planning and related information to academic experiences to foster life-long success.
