Student Success Centre(SSC) was established in the year 2007, with a two-member team. Later in the year, an Educational Counselor joined in to handle cases which required professional help. At present the center has four full-time members who pool in their knowledge, skills and experience to bolster students towards success.
A professional counselor is available to deal with other social and psychological issues that confront students. Over the past two years the Student Success Centre evolved into a proactive entity providing preventive measures and practicing innovative problem solving approaches. Benchmarking Student Success Centre services against those of Universities such as the Curtin University of Technology, Perth and the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia provided the stimulus for new initiatives and the refinement of its overall mission and objectives.
