Supporting Your Journey
From the moment you enroll, you’ll experience a unique, personalized support system designed to help you thrive both inside and outside the classroom. That’s why all the services and resources you need are under one roof, with your Student Success Advisor (SSA) as your go-to person for support along the way.

Why Vermont State Stands Out in Student Success
At Vermont State we provide holistic support in and out of the classroom through our shared advising model, because we know both are vital to your success. Unlike other universities that separate these parts of your college experience, we provide seamless support under one roof. Whether you need assistance monitoring progress toward your degree, finding a roommate, starting a snowboarding club or studying abroad, you have one place to go for everything.
Two Advisors Assigned to You:
We provide you with not one, but two dedicated advisors to ensure you have the comprehensive support you need to succeed from day one right through to graduation. Students will receive a Student Success Advisor (SSA) for their first year at VTSU (2 semesters, 3 trimesters). SSAs will help you register for classes for your initial semester, assist with your transition to the university, proactively reach out and connect you with resources as needed, and be a point person for your questions.
You will also be assigned a Faculty Advisor to work with during the entirety of your program. Your Faculty Advisor will be an expert in your major and can help guide you through course selection and registration each semester, degree planning, the process for completing an internship or other applied learning experience, and career and graduate school options.
An Inclusive, Equitable, Welcoming Community:
At Vermont State, being successful also means being your full self. We firmly believe that embracing diversity, promoting equity, and striving for inclusivity empowers every student to reach their full potential.
Our commitment to fostering a welcoming and accessible environment ensures that all students feel valued and respected. We actively work to break down barriers, promote equity, stand up for social justice, and celebrate diverse perspectives.
We uphold a code of conduct designed to keep all VTSU community members safe in the classroom, dorm rooms, and facilities throughout Vermont.
