Whether you need a referral to an academic tutor, practice for studying and time management, or just someone to hear you out, the Student Success Center is ready to support you.
The first few weeks of the semester are usually a blur of back-to-school events, research fairs, and so much new information you need to remember. When you’re learning so much in class and about how to navigate college life, it can be hard to remember all the programs and resources available at Utah Valley University (UVU) to support you.
If there’s one department to remember, it’s the Student Success Center (SSC). Instead of juggling all of the information you receive when you start college, the SSC is your bridge to campus and can connect you to those resources.
Whether you need a referral to an academic tutor, practice for studying and time management, or just someone to hear you out, the Student Success Center is ready to support you. Wherever you are in your college journey, the SSC has resources for you.
No matter what you need help with, the SSC’s Student Success Specialists have been there, wherever “there” is. Specialists are your peers, other students who know the ins and outs of UVU. If you have questions or a problem, a specialist can talk it out with you or connect you to someone who knows more.
If you need more specialized help, the Student Success Center’s coordinators can give you more specific information. Returning to school after taking a break, taking classes fully online, or just surviving senior year are all unique experiences, and getting support from someone who knows where you are makes all the difference. Coordinators can give you personalized guidance and help develop strategies unique to you.
The Student Success Center can meet you wherever you are, and you can reach out in whatever way feels the most comfortable. And sometimes, the SSC might reach out to you first. Specialists reach out to new students throughout the semester to check in, and they are ready to support you with whatever you need.
So, if you get a text from 801-889-1119, don’t mark it as spam — that’s the Student Success Center!
The Student Success Center and all of our programs at UVU are here to support you as a whole person, not just in your academic journey. And sometimes, you just need a break. Taking a leave of absence means you can step away from school when you need to and set yourself up for success once you’re ready to come back.
The SSC’s Leave of Absence team can walk you through what to consider before taking leave and how a break might impact your financial aid, degree progress, and other factors unique to you. They will help you drop or withdraw from your classes, check in when your leave is nearly over, and connect you to the resources available for returning students once you’re back.
The further you get into your academic career, the more complicated life can get, and you might need a little more support as you get closer to graduating. The Student Success Center’s Completion Programs provide mentorship and financial support to help you cross the finish line.
The Returning Wolverine Program is available for students with 65+ credits who are returning to UVU after taking a break for two or more semesters in a row, like after taking a leave of absence. You can apply for the program even if you’ve already returned from your break.
For students with over 90 credits, the Wolverine Completion Program can give you the final push you need to graduate within six years of starting your degree.
The Student Success Center is just one of the programs at UVU that is ready to support you. No matter what your question is, the SSC can offer guidance and connect you to departments across campus for whatever you might need. You can also find a full list of programs and resources available in the Student Success Resources directory.
