Student Success & Persistence (SSP) is a collaboration of departments and services working in unison to support the

college mission of providing students an accessible education that supports student success and employability.

The departments that make up SSP share a mission powered by strategic and purposeful objectives focused on student-centered services, success related activities and campus quality of life programming. The collective departmental goals, motivated by data-driven research and student needs assessments, have resulted in the development of impactful success programs centered around academic and success advising; tutoring and instructional support; education access and accommodations; job placement and career development, and early intervention and retention support initiatives.

Together, the Academic Studio - Student Success Center, Disability Support Services and the Career Center , with support from Student Success Support Program, and the Student Success & Engagement Strategies committee, assist students in completing their educational goals and ensure unencumbered access to the many resources provided by the college. These departments and services are united in the effort to provide holistic instructional support and service related programs that remove barriers and address student needs within and outside of the classroom.
