Student Success
Student Success will monitor and facilitate undergraduate student persistence and success through data collection, campus retention software, and program administration; and offer guidance and attend to the overall well-being of the North Park undergraduate student body. Programs and initiative are designed to support students’ success throughout all aspects of the University experience.
Disability Resources
North Park University seeks to provide an environment and community where each person may develop academically, socially, and spiritually. North Park University is committed to full inclusion and participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of university life. As a result, the University is willing to relocate programs, services, and activities to make the event accessible. Please allow at least ten (10) business days for accommodations. Depending on the nature of the program, service, or activity, accommodations may take longer or be able to be coordinated in less time.
If you have questions about accommodations or accessibility to programs, services, or activities offered on campus please contact: ada@northpark.edu
Orientation Program
Entering North Park University is a threshold experience. It is a time of transition, growth, and excitement. At North Park we are committed to helping the new student find the way to the other side of the threshold. Thus we have created Threshold Week of Welcome (WOW!) Orientation, a program designed with the new student in mind. Threshold WOW! includes orientation activities and events prior to the start of school, and the first week of classes which will familiarize the student with the campus, faculty and staff, the academic programs, peers, and various campus resources.
Peer Student Success Coaching
The Peer Student Success Coaching (PSSC) Program at North Park University is designed to support both first-year students as they transition into college and students on academic probation who are working to regain good academic standing. PSSC's serve as peer mentors who help students feel connected, understand what's expected of them, and navigate their college experience with more confidence. Through regular check-ins, campus involvement, and ongoing communication, PSSC's offer encouragement, accountability, and guidance that help students stay on track and feel a sense of belonging.
Tutoring Services
The Office of Academic Engagement and Student Success offers One-on-One Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction (SI). These services are regularly scheduled, informal review sessions in which students compare notes, discuss readings, and develop organizational tools. Students will learn how to integrate course content and study skills while working together. The sessions will be facilitated by trained student leaders recommended by faculty that have previously done well in the course and as model students.
