What is Student Success
Our goal is to help you succeed and persist at Saint Leo University, from matriculation through graduation.
- We offer comprehensive support services designed to help students reach their educational and professional goals.
- We collaborate with many departments on campus to provide institutional resources, assistance, and guidance to help you overcome potential challenges.
- We work closely with Academic Affairs to stay current on departmental policies and other important information related to course selection and registration.
- We foster the development of critical and creative thinking skills, problem solving, and inter & intra-personal skills to aid in your improved success, both inside and outside of the classroom.
We want you to know that you always have someone on your side. Whether you need someone to talk to about hurdles you might be facing or to celebrate your many accomplishments, your Student Success Coach will be beside you on your journey to graduation!
In addition to course selection and advising, meet with your Student Success Coach to develop learning, financial, and life strategies that promote your success. We can assist you with time/stress management, managing freedoms, setting goals, and much more!
