In support of SOU’s commitment to the well-being and success of all learners, each academic division houses a student success coordinator. This team of professionals are dedicated to outstanding student service and will provide innovative and holistic solutions for students and will serve as a key resource for helping students navigate university policies and procedures. Student success coordinators will assist students with students' transition to the university, aligning students’ career goals with academic majors, utilizing academic plans to promote a path to graduation and providing opportunities to enhance career exploration and preparation.
All students have access to their student success coordinator through their academic division and major to support their academic success and engagement during their time at SOU. Find your student success coordinator based on your academic major and division below.
