The Department of Student Affairs, Student Success, and Disability Access is centered around support in higher education. From supporting our students with disabilities, to supporting all students with tutoring, even developing future leaders through the Student Affairs in Higher Education program, this department has a way to help you.

College is no easy quest, and often cannot be done alone. We are here with expert faculty advisors, first-year adjustment specialists, and faculty who understand all that it takes to be successful in college and as a Crimson Hawk. We have decades of experience working with soon-to-be practitioners in student affairs, college students with disabilities, and first-year programming and curriculum to help ensure your success.

Feel free to review our pages, or send us an email so we can become a part of your support system today!
