Exploratory Student Success Center

Undeclared Student Advising at the Exploratory SSC!

The Exploratory Student Success Center serves undeclared undergraduate students. Our center plays a critical role in providing exploratory/undeclared students with general education academic advising and assisting them with navigating the change of major process. We work closely with other Student Success Centers and the Career Center to connect our students with resources to help them transition into their desired major.

Academic Advising Appointments

During the first few weeks of the semester, we offer drop-in advising to accommodate the high volume of students needing to meet.
