Supporting Students Toward Success

The Student Success Center (SSC) is a central hub for personalized support at MSU Texas. If you are feeling stuck, navigating a change, or simply looking for clarity — this is a good place to begin. We help you to explore topics, identify next steps, and build practical plans that align with your goals, schedule, and circumstances.

Start With a Conversation

Not sure which service fits your situation? That's okay.

The SSC connects you to the right support at the right time. Whether you're building academic habits, reconsidering your plans, or exploring what comes next, our team can help you determine what makes sense for you even if that means referring you to another campus resource.

How We Support You

The Student Success Center includes several distinct areas of support. Choose the one that best fits your current needs.

Success
Coaching

Self-reflection. Strategy. Forward movement.

Success Coaching is a conversation-based service designed to help you move forward with clarity and intention.

Coaches ask purposeful questions to help you:

  • Identify priorities
  • Develop realistic strategies
  • Break goals into manageable next steps
  • Build habits that support your academic experience

Common topics include but are not limited to:

  • Time management
  • Motivation
  • Balancing responsibilities
  • Strengthening routines
  • Preparing for an academic reset

We focus on where you are now and what feels possible next.

Transitional Advising

Support during academic change.

Transitional Advising serves students whose academic plans have shifted.

This may include students who:

  • Were not admitted into a competitive program
  • Need to explore alternative academic options
  • Are navigating unexpected academic circumstances

This service is distinct from Success Coaching and from advising for undecided majors.

Appointments are scheduled through Navigate.

First-Year Mustangs Adventure

Connection and support for new students.

First-Year Mustangs Adventure (FMA) is designed to help students acclimate to college life through setting goals, using academic resources, prioritizing wellness, and building community.

FMA is located in the Student Success Center.

Military Education Center

Support for military-connected students.

The Military Education Center specializes in working with the following students and their families:

  • Active-duty service members
  • Active-duty spouses and dependents
  • Veterans and their dependents
  • ENJJPT families

The center helps military-connected students understand their educational benefits, navigate university processes, and connect with the appropriate campus and community resources.
