The Student Success Program is designed to promote academic achievement for students with a cumulative GPA at or below a 2.5 with special attention paid to students with a semester GPA below 2.0.
Other targeted cohorts may include undeclared freshman, struggling sophomores, or any student on academic probation. The Success Specialists work to increase active participation, engagement, and commitment to the institution with the goal of improving retention of the targeted group. The Success Specialists are responsible for aiding students in the development and implementation of a retention plan to assist students in progressing towards degree completion.
Success Specialists are assigned by the college in which the students are enrolled. For example, if you are an Undeclared Student your Success Specialist would be the Undeclared Success Specialist, Laura Davis.
