Services and Programs at the Terry Center for Student Success
The Terry Center for Student Success provides a variety of services and programs designed to support the University's learning goals, help UIndy students eliminate obstacles, attain academic success, and foster student retention. We realize that learning and becoming a successful student involves mastering a variety of academic skill sets. Our goal is to provide UIndy students with tools and support to develop the academic skills needed to reach their potential. We assist undergraduate students in becoming self-determined, motivated and independent learners by providing opportunities for growth through the following services and programs:
Individualized Academic Assistance
We are available to assist students on an individual basis and will customize a success plan based upon your unique academic needs. To set up an individual meeting, please contact us at theterrycenter@uindy.edu.
Secrets of Success (SOS) Workshops
SOS workshops are offered throughout the academic year and cover a wide range of academic, social and personal topics, such as:
- Study tips
- How to succeed on essay exams
- Time management
- Roommate and relationship issues
- Health and nutrition information
- Internship and career advice
A schedule of the current semester's workshops is available in our office.
Academic Support
We are available to assist students dealing with unique academic challenges such as ACE, SAP, or Academic Alert and we will work with each student to create an individualized academic success plan to address their situation. To schedule an individual meeting, contact us at theterrycenter@uindy.edu.
Student Advocacy
We are available to assist students with financial and social challenges by connecting them with resources on-campus and in the community. Examples of on-campus resources include the UIndy Greyhound Care Corner food pantry, Student Counseling Center, and UIndy Ecumenical and Interfaith Programs. Many additional resources exist within the community, and the Terry Center can help guide students to the resources most suitable for their needs. To set up a meeting, contact us at theterrycenter@uindy.edu.
First Generation Students
UIndy is committed to supporting our First Gen Greyhounds. We celebrate our First Gen faculty, staff, and students during our annual "First Gen Week" activities held each November. In addition, we work with our First Gen Hounds to create and develop relationships with mentors and role models on campus, but we also encourage them to think of the Terry Center office in Schwitzer as a "home away from home" where we can provide encouragement through their years at UIndy. For more information, contact us at theterrycenter@uindy.edu.
21st Century Scholars Program
Our 21st Century Scholars, much like our First Gen students, are welcomed into the Terry Center and provided a "home away from home". We support our Scholar Hounds by working with them to maintain their program eligibility and provide special activities for Scholars to learn more about their scholarship and academic skills.
