Resources for Student Success staff
We have many resources designed to help our employees be as efficient with their time and resources as we can.
If you have any questions regarding Student Affairs or university policies and procedures, please feel free to contact our office.
Professional policies
Time off during critical department time | Please note that no Student Success employee may schedule vacation days or professional days during critical times of work for the division. This would include, but is not totally inclusive of, the week before fall and spring semesters begin. As different units may establish different parameters related to critical time periods, staff should consult with their department director.

- The employee is presenting at the conference.
- The employee has a need for a specific training or information in a given area that cannot be obtained at the University.
- The employee is a participant in the conference planning committee/staff.
