Student Support Services
At MWCC, our mission is to help students succeed. We recognize that each student comes to our campus with their own set of unique strengths and challenges. The Student Support Services team is here to help students play to their strengths, and overcome their challenges as they make important life and curricular choices necessary to achieve their academic goals.
Dean of Students Office
In support of student learning and success, the Dean of Students promotes the growth and development of all students through campus-wide programming, one-on-one meetings, and the delivery of appropriate support services. We are here to answer questions, advocate on behalf of students, foster a safe, inclusive learning environment, and mentor/advise students on the community college experience.
How can the Mount support you as you pursue your goals?
SUCCESS Scholar Program
The SUCCESS Scholar Program (Supporting Urgent Community College Equity through Student Services) at Mount Wachusett Community College is a state-funded program that provides students with wraparound support and services, designed to make a significant positive impact and improve their success outcomes at the college and beyond.
All SUCCESS Scholars will be assigned a SUCCESS Coach who understands firsthand what it means to be a student and brings all of the resources MWCC offers to the scholar. Additionally, all scholars receive personalized support that will help them navigate college as new students and achieve their short- and long-term goals.
