The Office of Student Success is ready to partner with students to help them make informed, responsible decisions in pursuit of their academic goals. Academic advisors value the unique needs of each student, providing students with the knowledge of their path to graduation and success, navigating university processes, and connecting them to appropriate campus resources to support their academic, career, and personal goals.
