Student Support Department
Helping Students Reach Their Academic Goals
The Student Support Department is a new initiative under the CASA Title V grant designed to create and integrate academic pathways for SXU students to reach
their education and career goals. The Student Support Department is a campus-wide
initiative that provides services and support for incoming freshmen and currently
enrolled SXU students to enhance their college experience from college entry to degree
completion.
Academic Support Coaches
Our Academic Support Coaches are here to work with students one-on-one and provide additional academic assistance, tools, skills, advising, coaching, and strategies necessary to reach their educational and career goals. They also evaluate the students' academic progress to ensure they receive the support needed to succeed academically and help students develop academic support plans for those struggling with their studies.
