About us
Academic Success Programs, a unit of Academic Affairs, collaborates with partners across campus to support the success of all UW Tacoma students. We use a data-informed, values-driven approach to remove academic barriers, create an engaging academic experience, and to empower students to achieve their goals.
We provide direct services through academic advising, a suite of student tutoring services, and professional development programs for instructors. In addition, we work with students, staff, faculty, and campus leadership to develop and implement strategies that support academic success more broadly.
