Student Achievement Services (SAS)

SAS, short for Student Achievement Services, is your personal support squad at Clarkson. We're with you every step of the way, from acceptance to graduation - and beyond - to help you manage your schedule, stay on top of your finances, or track your progress. We make sure you're on pace to level up - in a big way. 

We not only address most student transactional needs, but also understand the complexities of billing, financial aid, and academic progress. This allows us to provide personalized guidance that supports students' career goals while considering their full academic and financial circumstances. 

At our core, we're compassionate professionals - and for us, it's personal. Students, families, alumni, employers, faculty, and partners all know: when you reach out, we're here.
