Student Success Advisors are committed to the advising process and make every effort to be accessible to students at that moment. The SSA fosters students in self-direction and understanding of personal responsibilities as advisees. SSA’s help students develop educational goals, identify ways to achieve those goals, and track their progress. SSA’s also provide resources for students and follow up to see if they require further assistance such as:
- Present students with the options available so students can make the best possible decisions
- Help students stay on track during each module
- Discuss the link between academic preparation and future employment
- Answer general school-related questions
- Track attendance, expectations and success in courses
- Make customized recommendations for academic progress
- Advise students who are not meeting expectations
- Act as the primary point of contact for basic financial aid questions
- Support and advocate for students for when “life happens”
- Liase for student and internal departments
