Student Success Programs
Ensuring Longhorns have the opportunity to complete a world-class education within four years is an essential part of The University of Texas at Austin’s commitment to serve the people of Texas.
Undergraduate College‘s Office of Student Success is compromised of a wide range of data-driven, forward-thinking resources focused on enrollment, retention, timely graduation and everything in between.
We help build supportive communities for students, provide supplemental academic resources for students seeking extra support and ensure students have more opportunities to succeed once enrolled at The University of Texas at Austin. Combined, these programs are transforming our campus culture around student success.

Student Success Symposium
The Student Success Symposium celebrates the efforts of the campus community and offers insights into goals for the coming year. The symposium is open to faculty and staff across UT’s colleges, schools and units who work to help our students succeed. This conference-style event gives participants the opportunity to discover, discuss and learn about best practices in student success.

Graduation Help Desk
The Graduation Help Desk consolidates all of the tools available to help students stay on track to graduate and offers students assistance enrolling in classes required to fulfill degree requirements. Graduation Help Desk staff work with students, advisors and faculty to resolve roadblocks to timely graduation.

Senior Countdown
Students commit to graduating on time. We help them get there. By enrolling in Senior Countdown, students are given priority access to the Graduation Help Desk and are guaranteed access to courses they need to graduate.

Scholarships
Student Success Programs partners with colleagues in the Office of Admissions and the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid to provide two scholarships that recognize students’ hard work and help support their timely graduation.

First-Generation Student Support
First-Generation students come from families where neither parent or guardian has a four-year degree or higher from a college or university. Colleges, schools and units across campus collaborate to ensure First-Gen Longhorns and their families are aware of and have access to the many resources available to them on campus to support their success.
