The SUCCESS (Students Utilizing Cape Cod Educational Support Services) GED-to-College Transition Program was established in November of 2001 at Cape Cod Community College. Classes held at the Hyannis Center are convenient for adult learners who reside in southern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

SUCCESS is an 18-week program that offers three hours each of math and writing/study skills weekly. Stress and time management workshops are included as well as assistance with college admissions and financial aid information. A final product of the program is a research paper that includes an oral presentation of a college major the student plans to pursue. Also, the program provides a three-credit college computer course.

The program serves approximately 30 students annually. Classes are held two evenings per week during the fall cycle, and two mornings per week during the spring cycle. Orientation and the computer course are offered in a weekend format during both cycles.
