University Support Program
University Support is a grant-funded program that helps students who are placed on University Support Status. University Support Status (USS) happens when a student's CSU GPA falls below a 2.0. The University Support program also works with students who are not making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). Students will meet with an Academic Success Advisor and an Academic Success Coach housed in CSU ADVISE. The purpose of this program is to help students create an Academic Success Plan and arm themselves with strategies to help them meet their academic goals.

University Support Advising
An Academic Advisor will meet the student one-on-one or virtually to complete an twice a semester with their Academic Advisor. These meetings are informal and allows the academic advisor to get to know you and your specific situation, so that they can help you to develop strategies to achieve academic success. Meetings are required and will take place at the beginning and middle of the semester.
