The Office of Retention and Success Strategies serves as a conduit for the student experience, connecting them with the necessary resources throughout the College from day one and as the need arises. Faculty and Staff are able to submit alerts at first signs of academic or personal concern, which is then triaged by the Director of Retention and Success Strategies. The Director will either connect with the student directly to offer support, or inform the necessary Faculty and Staff who can assist. The Director of Retention and Success Strategies also develops and maintains Academic Success Plans with students from across the College, both by request and due to course repeat requirements. The Journey to Success Series is also managed by this office, in addition to College-wide retention data and strategies.

Counseling and Wellness Services promote the growth and wellness of all students through personal counseling, group counseling, campus programming, and crisis response. Confidential services provided by a licensed mental health professional are available to assist students in resolving personal difficulties to help promote holistic development. Counseling and Wellness Services are available on the Toledo campus.
