Resources for Student Success staff
We have many resources designed to help our employees be as efficient with their time and resources as we can.
If you have any questions regarding Student Affairs or university policies and procedures, please feel free to contact our office.
Professional policies
Time off during critical department time | Please note that no Student Success employee may schedule vacation days or professional days during critical times of work for the division. This would include, but is not totally inclusive of, the week before fall and spring semesters begin. As different units may establish different parameters related to critical time periods, staff should consult with their department director.
Travel
The Division of Student Success supports professional development.
To promote this focus, all employees are encouraged to be involved in professional societies. This involvement provides our employees with opportunities to network and gain expertise and knowledge that enhance employee professional development.
Travel requests are prioritized based on the following:
- The employee holds a leadership position within the professional organization.
- The employee is presenting at the conference.
- The employee has a need for a specific training or information in a given area that cannot be obtained at the University.
- The employee is a participant in the conference planning committee/staff.
- Grant-sponsored travel.
