Student Resources

Deciding Students

Whether a student is entering Mount Union without having decided on a major or future career path or a current student is considering changing their major, we can help! Schedule an appointment with a staff member in the Center for Student Success to begin a series of coaching meetings during which a student will be able to take several assessments as well as work through the Career Construction Interview process.

In the course of this work, a student will make a valuable relationship with our support staff who will help them through this process an on into the major that is the best fit for them. We can serve as a resource until a student obtains an advisor in their major and beyond!

Ellucian Advise

Ellucian Advise allows for a clear collaborative effort among faculty, advisors, administrators, and staff, engaging us all in actively supporting student success and retention.

While it certainly does not replace individual outreach or face-to-face conversations with students, this new technology platform does promote important interactions. It provides the space for quick and simple notification of advisors or Center for Student Success staff when there is a concern about a student. This enables these support providers to reach out promptly and effectively, leading to more efficient student support services and increased student success.

Ultimately, Ellucian Advise supports the retention efforts at the University of Mount Union by providing an intentional, efficient method of sharing critical information across divisions, tracking students about whom there are concerns, and providing impactful outreach and support services.

TRAINING AND RESOURCES

Students can use Raider Experience to raise alerts and request help in locating campus resources. Additionally, they will receive information about Ellucian Advise during their First Year Seminar.

Faculty, administrators, and staff will receive training as part of their new faculty and new staff orientation. If needed, they will also be able to attend supplementary training sessions offered throughout the year.
