Student Success Center (SSC)


Academic Advising Office:

The advising office is located in the Clarke M. Williams Student Success Center. All Undeclared Interim Options (LUIO) students are advised in the Student Success Center. Also advised in the Student Success Center are students in Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Health Sciences, Distance Learning Criminal Justice and General Studies. Advisees are required to visit their advisor in order to register. Prior to scheduling classes for a future term, the student must schedule an appointment with his or her advisor to be advised for the coming semester and/or summer/intersessions. After the advising session, the advisor will approve the student’s registration status and lift the student’s advising hold.

All students may work with their advisors on career exploration. The DISCOVER program is available for this purpose. The FOCUS program is available for this purpose. Call the SSC @ 342-3667 to make an appointment.
