At the SSP IA & IB levels, the above duties are well structured and procedural in nature, requiring little or no plan-ning and coordinating of the work objectives and operations. Only the most basic interviewing techniques are uti-lized, as personal interactions are primarily limited to students and are conducted to acquire information to ascer-tain facts, to provide information, and occasionally to secure the cooperation and understanding of others on mat-ters relating to specific Student Services programs. Oral presentations to groups follow well-structured or estab-lished formats. Analysis utilizes established guidelines, regulations, and precedents. Duties are performed under a high level of lead direction and supervision. The majority of assignments require general review only, being con-cerned with methodology thoroughness and results. Recommendations made at this level typically involve matters covered by regulations, procedures, and established parameters. Decision-making authority is limited, and typically impacts only individual student situations. At the SSP II level, duties are broad and typically require some coordination within the program area or within oth-er Student Services programs. Assigned responsibilities require some planning of work operation. Basic interview-ing and counseling techniques are utilized in interactions with students, faculty, and the general public to obtain information, explain the basis for decisions, advance understanding of the Student Services program, and assist students in planning and organizing educational activities. Oral presentations generally cover moderately complex subject matter. Analysis occurs more independently and in a wider variety of situations. Duties are performed under general lead direction and supervision, with day-to-day assignments carried out without immediate direction. Deci-sions are made within established parameters, regulations, and guidelines which impact student organizations, groups, and individual students.
