Student Academic Success Sessions
The Student Academic Success Sessions are supplemental education programs designed to impart the necessary academic skills to attendees through engaging conversation and discussion.
All virtual sessions can be found on Blackboard ( https://bb.siue.edu). After you login to Blackboard, navigate to the Student Academic Success Sessions (SASS) organization by clicking mySIUE and then My Organizations.
Some videos may be repeated from previous semesters, please plan accordingly to watch five different videos if you are trying to receive credit. Also, please consult your advisor about needing to complete a health credit or not!
Data on who has watched the videos is pulled weekly. Please allow some time for our data analytics to upload that information.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr. Kelly Atkins (kelatki@siue.edu), Associate Director of Student Success or Wyatt Bridger (wbridge@siue.edu), Student Success Coach.
Note: SASS workshops are not required for all students and are not a graduation requirement for the general student population.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
