Student Success

Welcome to the Office of Student Success

We are dedicated to guiding students through their time at Oklahoma State University and making it as smooth and rewarding as possible. We can't wait to be part of your academic success.

Turning strategy into action

Advancing student success 

The Office of Student Success advances student success through three integrated functions that work to improve outcomes for students across the university: Student Success Architecture and Governance; Academic Advising Oversight and Coordination; Programmatic Support for Students. This structure ensures that student success efforts are intentional, coordinated and responsive to student needs. For students, this means clearer pathways, stronger advising and coordinated support that meets them where they are. 

The integrated functions Designing strategy, aligning practice and delivering support

Student Success Architecture and Governance

Academic Advising Oversight and Coordination

The Office of Student Success oversees academic advising across the university and collaborates with colleges to ensure shared standards, coordinated practices and ongoing improvement. It provides professional development to enhance advising, emphasizing advising's role in student retention and graduation.

Programmatic Support for Students

The Office of Student Success also delivers targeted, student-facing programs designed to help students succeed academically and persist to graduation. These initiatives provide accessible, proactive support—particularly at key transition points.

What this means for students For students, this structure means a more connected, supportive and consistent experience from admission through graduation.

Less confusion, more clarity

Student support services are aligned behind shared goals, so students are less likely to bounce between offices or receive conflicting information.

Stronger advising, wherever students start

Advising is coordinated across the university, helping ensure students get timely, accurate guidance that supports their academic progress and long-term goals.

Support that responds to real needs

Programs are designed using data and student feedback, so resources are targeted toward the moments when students are most likely to struggle—or succeed.

Help that reaches students earlier

Because efforts are coordinated and monitored, the university can identify challenges sooner and connect students with support before small issues become barriers.
