Welcome to the Center for Student Success (CSS)!
In partnership with the Associate Dean for Advising and Curriculum in the College of Arts & Sciences, the CSS provides leadership and direction for the university-wide First Year Experience (FYE) and Second Year Experience (SYE) initiatives.
The CSS offers Student Success Coaching where professional staff and peer advisors are available to meet with any undergraduate student experiencing challenges at USD that impact academic performance and persistence. The CSS is also the home of the FRESH@USD program, and provides support to incoming commuter students (first-time freshman and transfer).
The CSS also processes undergraduate leave of absence requests as well as undergraduate withdrawals.
