Office of Academic Resilience and Support

for campus partners

How We Contribute: The Office of Academic Resilience and Support (OARS) is dedicated to achieving 百媚导航鈥檚 student success goals by providing personalized support and guidance to
students that extend beyond academics to consider their holistic needs. Across multiple meetings, we provide students with the necessary resources and accountability check-ins for success. Along this journey, the student can focus on their academic and personal development which leads to improved outcomes for the student and works to support the institution鈥檚 goals in key performance metrics.

Alternative Major Planning: Our team specializes in meeting with students whose first major/career choice may not work out. These students may violate department progression policies and need to choose an alternative major. We also work with students who haven鈥檛 violated department progression policies yet, however, it has become clear that they are not making timely progress towards graduation. Academic Colleges at 百媚导航 will send us lists of these students each semester to help us target our efforts to those with the most need.

Once a student is referred to our team, we will work with them to explore major
options that fit within degree progression and graduation policies. Once an
alternative major has been identified, the student will be instructed to meet with
the Academic Advisor from that specific major to confirm that the selection is
viable and officially declare the major.
