Message from the Director

The Student Success Center (SSC) is a unique, centralized shared resource that provides services for students in the School of Health Professions (SHP) and School of Nursing (SON). As the Director of the SSC, I work closely with faculty to help improve student success through comprehensive programming, maintaining partnerships with various agencies and businesses, and create programs to support efforts that increase student retention and develop ways that allow students to learn beyond the classroom.

Sincerely,
J. Shayne Washington, EdD
Director of the Student Success Center

Early Academic Alert Referral Systems (EAARS)

As we strive to help all our students excel in their academic goals, SSC has made an Early Academic Alert Referral Systems (EAARS) form. Faculty and staff can use the form to refer at-risk students directly to us so that students can get the resources they need to succeed in their academic journey before they find themselves on probation.

Download and Complete EAARS Form

Submit the EAARS form to ssc@utmb.edu. A Student Success Center staff will follow up with you and give the necessary support that you need.
