The Center for Student Success and First Year Experience (CSSFYE) is here to help a wide-range of students find success in Ole Miss classrooms, on campus, and in their day-to-day lives. We know that college and life can be challenging sometimes, but that shouldn't be a reason to stop you from reaching new heights during your time at Ole Miss.

We offer one-on-one advising and advising resources. We advise all Freshman Studies majors and freshmen in the following schools: Business Administration, School of Applied Sciences, Accountancy, Engineering, Journalism, and select majors in the College of Liberal Arts.
First-Year Experience. First-Year Experience aims to assist students during the first-year (either freshman or transfer) at the University through unique courses designed to allow students to meet others, learn about the University, explore student organizations, and get involved through many activities in and out of the classroom.
Student Persistence. Student Persistence is a partnership between UM, the student, and the student's chosen family. Student Persistence helps with developmental and intrusive advising, EDHE courses, coaching, and so much more.
