Student Success Center : About Us

After an extensive study, The University of Toledo Board of Trustees approved the creation of an advising center to serve the undecided student; direct from high school, transfers and adult students. The result of that approval, granted in 1999, is now the Student Success Center(SSC). Since then we have expanded to also serve the Transition student, needing additional grades, classes or test scores to enter the college they applied to; and the Post Secondary Options Program where students take college level classes while still in high school.

Mission Statement

We will provide timely, comprehensive, quality service to the exploratory/undecided students to help them in making appropriate academic decisions at The University of Toledo. The Student Success Center strives to enhance and improve the student's transition to the university setting and become successful in their selected pursuits.

Value Statement

SSC advisers are most concerned about the care and assistance of academically exploratory/undecided students as they make their adjustments to college life. Intrusive, case management style advising helps students make a connection here at UT as well as aiding the advisers in watching the progress each student is making toward their educational goals.

Philosophy Statement

The purpose of our Colleges and Universities is to help students set and implement educational and career goals; therefore we must be cooperatively engaged in the venture. We must create a climate that encourages all students to explore during freshman year and provide an atmosphere that supports students who are initially buy who need to change majors later. All students will have the needed services available to them, as they are required to meet their various schedules and goals. The Center will partner with other Divisions within the University to deliver services for its student support and enrollment.
