The Center for Student Success (CSS) provides a holistic approach to support students outside of the classroom. Our services include Clinical Counseling, Disability Services, TRiO SSS Program, Tutoring, CLEP Testing, and basic Academic Support. All of these services are delivered from a Christ-likeness perspective and are designed to assist the student in their interpersonal, emotional, academic, and psychological growth.
Our team of qualified mental health counselors is committed to working with IWU-Marion students in one-on-one counseling to help them deal with various cognitive, emotional and behavioral concerns so that they can take full advantage of the opportunities provided to them during their college years. Depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and many other issues may be addressed in a voluntary, confidential and supportive environment with our counselors.
Additionally, we have partnered with a Telehealth organization called TimelyCare to deliver free counseling services year-round during and after office hours, including scheduled counseling, 24/7 on-demand counseling, and health coaching.

We work cooperatively with students to help them reach their maximum academic, social, and personal potential. This is achieved by integrating legal expectations, Indiana Wesleyan's standards of service, and Christ-like principles.
The Director of Accessibility and Accommodations is a trained professional responsible for determining accommodation eligibility and coordinating office services for students with disabilities. The Director works with the students, faculty, and staff to coordinate a plan of reasonable accommodations that allow for equal access to all areas of university life.
Any request for accommodations will be considered. For an accommodation to be granted, it must be supported by documentation and deemed reasonable. Reasonable means that it meets the student's needs and does not alter any core components of the university's courses or academic curriculum.
For more information, please reach out anytime: 765-677-2257 or ADArequest@indwes.edu
Once accepted to the university, you may apply for accommodations online.

Funded 100% by the U.S. Department of Education, the Indiana Wesleyan University TRiO Student Support Services (SSS) Program supports eligible students in transition from high school through college graduation, by motivating them toward academic, personal, and social self-determination.
TRiO SSS advisors work individually with students to assess and anticipate academic, career, and personal needs. Advisors use various assessment tools to determine each student's abilities and needs.
These assessments aid students and advisors in developing an Individualized Retention Plan (IRP) that is used to identify and work toward semester goals that help students improve and succeed academically.
Academic support is provided on many topics and through both individual training and workshops, including:
Federal law regulates qualifications for the TRiO SSS Program. Students are eligible if they show a need for academic support and meet one of the following criteria:
A student's parents (or the single parent that a student lives with) have not earned a bachelor's level college degree.
Parents' TAXABLE income (or the single parent's taxable income) does not exceed the level established by the U.S. Department of Education for family size. These figures are available on the TRIO application.
The student has a documented disability and has/will submit these documents to the Director of Disability Services at IWU.
Applications for participation in the TRiO SSS Program are available in the Center for Student Success office (Barnes Student Center, Room 220.)
Current IWU students can also download the application from MyIWU.
