These are individual services offered to students that include regular check-ins and referrals to appropriate resources/services.

  • Tier III Student Candidate: These services are typically for a student in the third year and beyond.
  • Services in Tier III include:
    • Individual sessions as needed by the student, or at a minimum of once a month, to support progress towards graduation and professional employment.
    • Preparation for employment (mock interviews, job searches, completing applications, etc.).
    • Employment observations (job shadows, informational interviews, etc.).

College Work Experience – Orientation: $1,000 (one-time fee)

This service is provided in conjunction with the College Resources for Success course and Tiers I–III and is not a standalone service.

  • Orientation Candidate: This service is for a student going on co-op for the first time.
  • Services in Orientation include:
    • Individual sessions to review general job tasks.
    • Provide coordination at a worksite (if necessary).
    • Monitoring to ensure the student is meeting expectations of the worksite and has the supports necessary to be successful.
    • Teaching skills and reinforcing skills.

Financial Support

Our fees are charged directly to your student account. Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies often provide financial support to cover some or all of the CAN fee. If you are eligible, or believe you may be eligible, contact your local Office of Vocational Rehabilitation to inquire. View a list of state VR agencies.
