What to Know
Every degree-seeking student is assigned a dedicated Student Success Coach to help them get started. Your Student Success Coach will assist with registering for your first semester, connecting you to important campus resources, and introducing you to your faculty advisor. After your first semester, academic advising transitions to your faculty advisor, who will help you plan your courses and stay on track for graduation.
Degree-seeking students have the option to self-register for classes, but both Student Success Coaches and faculty advisors are available to offer guidance and support throughout your academic journey.
Student Services also connects students to additional support, including tutoring, career preparation, ADA accommodations, and other valuable resources to help you succeed both in and out of the classroom.
