Student Success Advocates
You want to succeed at college. We want you to succeed, too.
What is a Student Success Advocate?
Your student success advocate will meet with you regularly during your time at SCC to ensure you're getting the most from your college experience. This includes ensuring you are on the right path, staying on path, and completing your path of education. They'll connect you with the support and resources you need to make the most of your time at SCC.
Your Student Success Advocate will help you through a number of important processes.
They'll help you:
- Register for the classes you need
- Connect with free resources within the college
- Tackle social and personal challenges
- Learn about community resources
- Determine how to transfer on after SCC
Appointments are preferred to ensure you have adequate time to get all the answers you need with your Student Success Advocate, however, walk-ins can be taken if your Student Success Advocate is available. Schedule with your Student Success Advocate below.
Each Student Success Advocate works with students enrolled in a specific program pathway so they can get specific advising and support directly related to their chosen field of study.
