Student Success Initiative

In the fall of 2000, the College launched the Student Success Initiative to ensure that Kilian students had the necessary assistance and support services to be successful in reaching their academic and life goals. The centerpiece of the Initiative is the Student Success Center, which provides a variety of academic assistance to students. Counseling services are available at no charge to students and their families. Services include, personal, couples, and family counseling, support, educational, and therapy group experiences, and numerous mental and physical wellness activities.

An instructor in the student's field of study provides academic advising and is assigned to each new student at the time of admission. Every new student takes a COMPASS placement test to ensure they are placed in the right introductory course during their first semester. An Introduction to College Studies class is required of all new students during their first semester. This course introduces new students to the college environment, presents a series of study skills and techniques, and provides the student with a number of opportunities for self-discovery. Taken together, the elements of the Student Success Initiative have proven very valuable to student success and are one more example of the College's commitment to its students.
