The Student Success Centers on each campus are at the heart of a coordinated, campus-wide commitment to support all students, whether first-semester newcomers or graduating seniors, as they pursue a Commonwealth University degree.
We have designed our Student Success Centers to be the one-stop-shop for all of your student needs. If you don’t know what question to ask, or who to reach out to, come see our Student Success Staff and we will get you where you need to be.
The Success Centers seek to assist students in four major areas: academic success, social adjustment, financial literacy, and career exploration.
