Boosting Retention and Graduation

The Student Success Help Desk (SSHD) is a resource for students who encounter roadblocks or barriers to help them stay on track for  graduation, preferably within four years. The SSHD staff actively listens to the student's issue or concern and determines the best course of action to help find a resolution. SSHD staff explains general policies and procedures, talks through the situation and possible solutions with the student, gives student action items to work on, and directs the student back to their academic advisor or other appropriate campus resources.
