The Office of Student Success (OSS) oversees academic advising and career counseling for undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA). Professional Academic Advisors and Career Counselors are generalists who work with students across all VPA programs, while each is also a specialist in the programs of a specific School or Department within VPA. The OSS team is here to support VPA students through individualized support, resource referrals, and workshops.
