Student Success Center

Student Success Center

The Student Success Center uses a holistic approach to help students be successful from day one of their college journey through graduation. The staff of the Student Success Center partners with faculty, other staff, and students to help students be successful and make the most of their Butler University experience.

Our Commitment

The Student Success Center provides a welcoming, student-centered environment that challenges and advocates for all Butler students to reach their academic potential. Through developmental academic advising, coaching, and process-oriented exploration and reflection, we encourage students to develop a plan and take action in support of their academic, personal, and professional goals.

The Student Success Center offers a variety of services, programs, and resources that can help students start on a path to academic success or get back on the path to success. We also house the Exploratory Studies Program, where students who are undecided or have multiple interests can exercise their intellectual curiosity through a number of programs and classes designed to help determine their best course of study.

Alumni Thoughts

“Even after getting an academic advisor in my major, I consistently returned to the Student Success Center for a variety of advising needs. Each member of the staff consistently goes the extra mile to ensure students are supported. They have your best interest at heart and I am beyond grateful for the work they do.” —Sidney Hill-Kartel ’21

Student Thoughts

“From being a first-year student sitting in the exploratory classes, to having an on-campus job opportunity through the Student Success Center, it is easy to say that this specific space holds a very special place in my heart. I’m constantly surrounded by people who want to see me grow, achieve, and dream bigger than I ever thought I could. The Student Success Center gave me the foundation to be the student I always knew I could be.” —Nathan Carnes ’22
