About Our Office

Our goal is to provide excellent service to students, to connect them with the resources they need, and to ensure that all students receive encouragement and support.

  • We manage student records within the Student Information System, with a focus on timeliness and accuracy
  • We advise students (with both academic and personal challenges) with compassion and common sense
