Enrollment
Student Support Services has a limited enrollment of 150 students. Each year, the program has about 40-45 available spots, and acceptance into the program can be competitive.
Invitations are sent out to first-year students and transfer students who may be interested in the program. However, students can join the program at any point in their Brandeis career, not just in the first year.
