Student Success Advisors
Each program has a designated Student Success Advisor (SSA) who serves as the first point of contact for advising and support while you are enrolled in classes. The SSA can assist you with course selection, program planning, and other academic and registration questions. They are also able to provide referrals to a number of other support offices on campus, based on each student's particular needs.
