Texas A&M University Office for Student Success

Our Mission

To support your journey at Texas A&M by connecting you to the tools, people, and opportunities that help you thrive, stay on course, and reach graduation.

Our History

The Office for Student Success was created in 2019 to improve retention, increase graduation rates, and close achievement gaps. Initial efforts focused on first-year, first gen, and transfer students, with plans to expand support across all class years through high-impact practices that help students stay on track and succeed.

Our Commitment

We are committed to creating a supportive and welcoming experience by helping you stay engaged, supporting you as a whole person, and removing barriers that can stand in the way of your success. We strive to build a strong sense of community, advocate for your needs, and work closely with campus partners to connect you with the right resources at the right time.
