Student Success Center

The Student Success Center offers support to the following student groups: Exploratory Studies, Pathways, GradU8 Scholars, Bridges Scholars, and Foster Care alumni. It also administers the Miami Cares initiative, which helps students in need with food, housing, and technology resources.

Academic Advising

Using a holistic approach to support their major exploration and academic development, our Student Success Navigators advise Miami University students in the Pathways Program and Exploratory Studies. 

Our Navigators, who are familiar with the Miami Plan and academic programs, help their students explore majors, understand degree requirements, and create an action plan that will set them up for future success, no matter their program of choice.
