The Titan Success Center is committed to your success at all times throughout your academic journey. You may have never taken a class online before, and are concerned that you won't be able to keep up with your coursework. Maybe you're trying to register for your classes and you don't remember how to complete enrollment. Perhaps you're filling out your FAFSA and get stuck. Sometimes you just don’t know where to begin. Your Academic Success Coaches are happy to assist you with these and other challenges. See our infographic for some of the many ways we coach students through obstacles.
All of our services are offered in-person and remotely via Zoom, email, or phone. Students can schedule a meeting with our coaches using Student Appointment Scheduler, by emailing or by calling.
We are open and have staff in the office Monday–Friday from 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Meeting outside these hours can be an option if you work it out with your coach.
We are here for you. You belong here, you can do this, we can help.

The Titan Success Center (TSC) was established in 2015. Our holistic approach to academic success ensures that students have the resources and skills they need to thrive in college and beyond. We provide the support students need to reach their graduation goals and create fulfilling lives. It is our goal to assist IU South Bend students in realizing their potential for success.
- Taking a holistic approach to academic success means recognizing that students have a variety of needs that must be met in order for them to succeed in college. We work with them on academic and non-academic concerns, including personal, social, and financial matters.
- TSC is a supportive community of success coaches and IU South Bend campus and community partners. We work alongside academic advisors, financial-aid counselors, faculty, and others to provide the full range of support our students need.
- All students have access to our services. We offer additional outreach to students who have completed fewer than 30 credit hours, students who struggled in high school, African American and Latinx students, 21st Century and Frank O’Bannon Scholars, and Leadership Academy and Guided Pathways Academy scholars.
You belong here. You can do this. We’re here to help!
