Thank you for your interest in Student Success at the University of Kansas. As our name indicates, our focus is on the success of each and every student at the University.

Because student success starts in the classroom, our offices and departments provide a variety of services and programs that enable students to excel academically. From new student orientation to registering for classes, academic advising and the writing center, these programs are designed to assist you in making the most of your academic career.

Student Success extends beyond the classroom, and many of our departments focus on providing you with opportunities to be active as a key member of the Jayhawk Community. I encourage you to become involved in our residence halls, Greek organizations, student organizations and activities, and to take advantage of the many, many opportunities available to you here at KU.

Student Success also provides services and programs that focus on enabling you to make a smooth transition to college life and beyond. Take time to learn more about the programs and services provided through our Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Student Involvement & Leadership Center, the Academic Achievement and Access Center and the University Career Center. In addition, I encourage you to take advantage of the assistance and support available through our Counseling and Psychological Services Center, Legal Services for Students, and Disability Resources.

Student Success is all about students. Wherever you have questions, whenever you need assistance, and whenever you have ideas about how to make KU an even better University, please get in touch.

I wish you nothing but the best of success here at the University of Kansas!

Warm regards,

Marlesa A. Roney, Ph.D.
