Each degree-seeking student is assigned to a Student Success Advisor (SSA) upon matriculation into their degree program at DigiPen. SSAs specialize in supporting students through setting and working towards academic goals. Students should see their SSAs about issues related to academic and school policies, scheduling and course selection, Course Registration Override Request forms, alternate schedules, degree audits and graduation, classroom success, mentoring, and referrals to other resources. Students are especially encouraged to meet with their SSAs prior to making changes to their course timelines in Colleague Self-Service.
It is recommended that students meet with their Student Success Advisor at least once a year and when applying for graduation. This ensures that students are enrolling in the correct classes and are making satisfactory academic progress through their degree program. For additional advising information, please contact studentsuccess@digipen.edu.
