Program Success Team

The integrated unit of teams powering the full learner journey—connecting strategy, storytelling, support, and service to turn great programs and partnerships into successful student experiences.

All Good Things Come in Threes

The Program Success Team consists of three teams: Enrollment & Student Services, Marketing & Communications, and Program Management.

Enrollment & Student Services

The Enrollment team engages prospective students for both the online academic and professional credit programs and provides guidance and assistance with learning about and enrolling in these specific programs. The Program and Student Support Coordinator (PSSC) team works with academic departments to make sure their courses are listed correctly and provides assistance with customizing the courses to reflect the online format. The PSSC team also assists students with registration issues and consistently refines processes to increase retention.
