Student Success Advisers
It's common to experience ups and downs while you're at university, but you don't have to go through it alone.
What is a Student Success Adviser (SSA)?
Student Success Advisers coach and mentor students, supporting them in performing at their best and navigating university life and learning.
How we can assist you
We help students at any stage of their university career and any academic standing to:
- maintain and improve their study performance
- achieve their educational goals, however big or small
- overcome challenges that are impacting their studies
- recover academically
- learn new strategies and attitudes that ensure academic success.
Common areas of discussion include motivation, goal setting, decision-making, time management, balancing work and study, and tackling procrastination.
What we offer
Student Success Advisers provide a range of services to students.
We offer face-to-face and video appointments to work collaboratively with students and explore their choices, overcome challenges, and assist them in creating a plan to move forward.
