Student Success Center

Success center appointments

We provide academic advising and success coaching to all CSE majors and minors. As a CMU Chippewa, you'll be assigned an academic advisor who will work with you from Orientation through Graduation.

We help with:

  • Degree planning.
  • Connecting with faculty.
  • Career services.
  • Finding tutoring services.

We meet with students in person, virtually, and by phone.

    Frequently asked questions

      CSE Student Success Center academic advisors will help you with your major map but you will still need a faculty advisor to declare your major. Also, it is helpful to have a relationship with an expert in the field of your interest.
