About Us

At the Student Success Center,
it’s our job to help you succeed!

The Student Success Center, an academic unit within the Office of the Provost, is dedicated to providing students in transition with the knowledge and skills on which to develop a successful university experience. To that end, the unit administers several separate and distinct programs. Our programs and services have been designed to help students connect with the tools, resources, and programs that can be keys to success in their first year and beyond.

As part of a campus-wide retention effort here at Southern Miss, the Student Success Center includes both the Office of First Year Experience and Student Support Services/McNair Scholars. Together, we partner with faculty, staff and administration to uphold the mission, standards and requirements of the University and to foster an academic community that supports students in their pursuit of knowledge.

Whether through the areas of academic support, campus resources, or student development, the Student Success Center is here to answer your questions and support you in any way that we can.
