Wrap-Around Services
There is a growing body of evidence that reveals comprehensive student support services, also known as wraparound services, increase student persistence and degree completion in college, especially among targeted populations. Many of these students face complex decisions that impact their persistence, with limited guidance. Student Success Programs (SSP) support services help students navigate the university, while addressing the myriad of personal and institutional obstacles students face at a large campus. SSP provides these services, while also incorporating high impact practices (HIP) for every student enrolled in our programs until they graduate from college. Many of these services and practices are highlighted below.
