Crossing the Finish Line

SMU has believed in you since the beginning, let us help you graduate. 

Working with University Decision Support, advisors, and School Records Offices, the Office of Student Success and Retention identifies students who have stopped out from SMU but have not graduated elsewhere. Students' academic records are reviewed to determine the feasibility of graduating within six years. SSR connects with students to support their degree completion
