# Setting Students up for Success: Student Services

[Arizona College Student Services](https://www.arizonacollege.edu/about-arizona-college/student-services/)
is comprised of a team of professionals who coordinate valuable support services
for students, promoting the successful completion of student programs.  The
Student Services team performs a wide variety of tasks. They are involved
throughout the student’s educational journey, beginning with student
orientation, through to graduation day and beyond.

The Student Services office also helps in organizing the new student orientation
each session.  Activities at orientation include:

1. An introduction and welcoming from Arizona College Department leaders
2. Textbook, uniform, and class schedule distribution
3. A brief overview of the Student Handbook, including important program specific
   policies and procedures
4. Food, fun, and mingling with fellow new students

Immunization records are also tracked by Student Services. Students are
contacted to ensure they are compliant with all immunization requirements to
attend class and begin their externship.  Because most programs at Arizona
College require physical contact with mock patients (fellow students and
instructors) during lab, it is important that students are current on all
required immunizations.

Student Services arranges resources for and provides information to students in
many ways.  In need of transportation to and from school?  Student Services can
help!  Transportation resources for bus passes or carpooling coordination are
available.  Sometimes life happens; students may find themselves in a temporary
situation in which they may need information on babysitting facilities, food
banks, or temporary housing shelters.  Student Services can offer confidential
support from agencies to help students through this temporary bump in the road.

Lastly, Student Services coordinates the entire graduation process.  They order
student graduation caps and gowns, graduation invitations, and coordinate the
graduation ceremony.  Student Services is available to help students in a
variety of ways to keep them on the right track.  Often the road of life for a
student contains many detours, but with assistance from Student Services and the
successful completion of their program, the finish line of graduation is
attainable!
