School Services
Student services are often as important as the educational programs. Student services prepare students to be successful and provide assistance throughout the student's experience at your institution. Common school services are: Orientation, academic assistance, housing, placement and career services, graduation, and exit interviews.

Students should become familiar with their Student Services rep early. It is beneficial for the student for the rep to know who they are and waht they are looking for.

Student services in my opinion is complimentary in ensuring retention. It also helps to provide solutions when unforeseen situations arise. Schools that have good student service options also have good retention pecentages, hence Student Services in an integral part of ensuring course completion.

Definitely agree with this. I have seen both positive and negative come from Student Services. When you get a good student services rep, you get a much higher student retention rate

School services play a vital role in a students success not only through there time at the institution, but as they graduate and move into the working world.
I believe student services can sometimes be the "selling point" of the institution. if you have strong student services that is such an asset!
