The Division of Student Success
At the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, the Division of Student Success (DSS) is dedicated to fostering a campus where students feel a deep sense of belonging, well-being, and engagement. We partner with students to build a vibrant, community-connected university that empowers them to lead fulfilling lives and make meaningful contributions to Hawaiʻi and beyond.
From academic advising and career development to health, counseling, and student life, DSS provides a full spectrum of support to help students thrive—ensuring they have the tools, resources, and opportunities to succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
The Division of Student Success is under the leadership and supervision of the Vice Provost for Student Success, who is responsible for the direction and coordination of student services. The Vice Provost for Student Success reports directly to the Chancellor and is a member of the University's Mānoa Management Executive and Leadership Team.
