Office of Student Success
Personalized Advice by Caring Engineering Professionals
The Office of Student Success (OSS) provides academic advising for your first two years. Our advisers have experience in the field as engineers, so we understand what's important for a future engineering career.
We help you stay on track with your degree program while crafting a custom set of experiences (cooperative education, study abroad, ETHOS, etc.) to complement your academic coursework. We incorporate our Catholic and Marianist philosophy of inclusiveness and community and value the diversity of our students.
Advising often goes beyond academics and our goal is to be a trusted adviser — the person our students can feel comfortable coming to about anything.
