Student Success

Student Success Starts Here

Help is only a question away! At the University of Mount Union, we commit to supporting your achievements and success—in the classroom, in your career, and in your day-to-day life. 

Our Center for Student Success and the Office of Academic Support offer dozens of student resources you can access on your own or with the guidance of our friendly staff. These team members can help you navigate the college landscape and your academic studies, from improving your study habits to identifying internship opportunities to perfecting a writing project. By working together, we can all reach our full potential.

  

Center for Student Success

We’re here to support Mount Union current students, prospective students, and graduates. Develop valuable connections with our helpful team whenever you feel you need some extra guidance—whether that’s before you set foot on campus or well into your college journey.

By scheduling an appointment with the Center for Student Success, you open doors to coaching meetings, assessments through O*Net OnLine about your career goals and passions, and our unique Career Construction Interview process—a well-rounded approach to navigating your potential career opportunities.

We can also help you choose or change your major. Our team will act as your point of contact for resources until you obtain an academic advisor in your major or program, and we’ll continue to support you as needed through graduation.

  

  • Deciding Students

    Deciding Students

    Whether a student is entering Mount Union without having decided on a major or future career path or a current student is considering changing their major, we can help! Schedule an appointment with a staff member in the Center for Student Success to begin a series of coaching meetings during which a student will be able to take several assessments as well as work through the Career Construction Interview process.

     

    In the course of this work, a student will make a valuable relationship with our support staff who will help them through this process an on into the major that is the best fit for them. We can serve as a resource until a student obtains an advisor in their major and beyond!
