Student Success
The mission of the Student Success Office is to provide support, direction, and services designed to empower students and to connect them with the resources needed to achieve both academic and personal goals.
Our goal is to assist CUAA students as they:
- become active, informed, and confident learners
- learn to manage themselves
- accept responsibility for their choices
- make positive contributions to the campus community
Student Success & Retention helps students achieve success through balancing lifestyle with academic requirements.
This approach addresses the needs of the whole student, and encompasses the intellectual, emotional, physical, social and spiritual areas. The student success areas embrace balance, capability, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, goal setting, healthy relationships, motivation, and responsibility. CUAA and community resources are explored and provided to help the student address challenges.
Student Success & Retention is pleased to be a resource for current students.
Even though we are a small campus it can sometimes be hard to figure out:
- how to do something
- who to ask if you have a question
- where to turn if you have a problem
- who to tell if you have a complaint.
The office of Student Success & Retention is here to help! Conveniently located just inside the Student Life Suite in the Student Services Center, Pam Schwartz is eager to assist you however possible. You are welcome to drop in anytime. You can also call 734-995-4896, or email schwap@cuaa.edu. Another alternative is to use the Student Voice to register your question, suggestion, or complaint. You can usually expect a response within 24 hours.
The Student Success summer program has been developed to help eligible students who are accepted to CUAA to prepare for their first year in college. The Student Success program allows students to experience life on campus, earn three credit hours, develop skills to help students achieve success in college classes, and have fun building connections and making friends.
The summer program class is COM201, Speech Communications. COM201 is a 3-credit class that is required for all majors. At the same time students will learn success strategies such as note taking, time management, and study skills.
This is a residential program. Participants must live and stay on campus during the whole 4-week program, even if they plan to commute during the school year. By living on campus participants will benefit from the academic and community experiences that have been planned.
