About the Deans of Students
The deans of students make sure students have the services and support they need to succeed. The deans work with student services to support learning in classes and through extracurricular activities. The deans work with faculty to create a supportive learning environment. See the boxes below for more information about some of the departments and programs within the deans of students. Review the CCAC Guide to Student Services for a full list of services available to all students.
At the Community College of Allegheny County, our goal is our students' success. For us, student success is a holistic and inclusive journey. We support students at every stage and help them achieve their goals. While academic achievement is a cornerstone of this success, we recognize that true student success also encompasses personal, professional and career growth. It includes building life skills, such as solving problems and adapting to change. Student success means completing your education, whether for personal growth, earning a degree or certificate, gaining an industry credential, transferring to a four-year college, or getting a job.
