Support to Help You Finish What You’ve Started
About the Program:
The SUCCESS Program at Cape Cod Community College provides individualized, high-touch support to help students stay on track, build confidence, and reach their academic and career goals. SUCCESS staff and peer mentors offer personalized guidance, connection to resources, and ongoing encouragement throughout a student’s time at 4Cs—through graduation, certificate completion, or transfer to a four-year college.
Students connect with SUCCESS in a variety of ways. New and continuing students who meet the legislatively defined eligibility criteria are assigned a SUCCESS advisor, and any student who would benefit from additional support is welcome to opt in. SUCCESS services are designed to meet students where they are, whether they are just beginning college, returning after time away, balancing work and family responsibilities, or preparing for next steps in their academic journey.
SUCCESS works closely with many departments at 4Cs—including Advising, Financial Aid, Admissions, Disability Services, Tutoring & Learning Resources, Wellness Services, Veterans Services, Student Engagement, and more—to ensure students receive coordinated and responsive support.
Student Eligibility
Students who are eligible for 4Cs4U include:

Support Network
SUCCESS uses a proactive advising and coaching model where dedicated SUCCESS staff manage defined caseloads to ensure consistent outreach, timely support, and ongoing engagement. Advisors and coaches regularly check in with students, monitor progress, and offer guidance throughout the semester. This work is strengthened by close collaboration with campus partners—such as Financial Aid, Admissions, Disability Services, Tutoring, Wellness, Veterans Services, and Student Engagement—so students receive coordinated, wraparound support that helps them stay connected and move toward their goals.
SUCCESS receives funding through the Massachusetts legislature and is supported by the 15 state community colleges, the Massachusetts Association of Community Colleges (MACC), the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE), and the SUCCESS Leadership and Coordinating Committees.
