Student Success Coordinators (SSCs) provide student-centered support to empower all learners to be self-advocates and to reach their goals. SSCs are a consistent presence at the center of collaborative relationships that facilitate communication and build bridges across campus in order to foster our students' academic, career, and personal success.
Advising is coordinated by Student Success Coordinators (SSC), each of whom advise for specific majors. SSCs help connect students with their major advisors, explain how to select classes, explain and lift registration holds, orient and register new students, and as well as connect students to additional SOU resources.
