Mission and Philosophy:

Our primary goal is to help students fully develop their intellectual, emotional, academic, and social potential. The SS&CC team believes that your overall success as a student can sometimes be affected when situations become challenging or difficult which ultimately can affect your academic life. Our main purpose is to help students reduce and or eliminate emotional, psychological and academic barriers which may interfere with your student success.

The Student Success and Wellness Department is interested in you – with that being said, we have designed our services to help you reach your academic and personal goals. Whether you are a first-year student or graduating senior, whether you are struggling with classes or on the Dean's List, we have something for you. You have an open invitation to come see us.

The Student Success Center maintains collaborative relationships across campus, supports and works closely with Bay State College Faculty and Staff in order to advance the educational and retention efforts of Bay State College.

Our Goals are:

  • To assist students in becoming more independent, self-confident, and efficient learners
  • To improve the well-being of all students
  • To promote student retention at the college and subsequent graduation
  • To provide individualized assistance
  • To provide a place where faculty can refer students who are in need of assistance
  • To provide help in developing self-advocacy skills
  • To work collaboratively with other student services and academic offices where necessary
  • To serve as a resource and identify resources both on and off campus
  • To create and provide academic accommodations to students with disabilities

Confidentiality

At Bay State College we care about protecting your privacy, and believe that confidentiality is most effective when students feel comfortable speaking openly with the schools’ counselor or student success coordinators.
