About Us
The Center for Student Success has merged several existing student support offices to provide a central environment of support to help our students navigate their journey toward academic achievement. This journey will begin with testing, assessment, and advisement and will continue through accommodation, remediation, and follow-up services and programs. Our combined efforts will increase retention and enrollment and student success from their initial entry on the Dothan Campus to their graduation.
