The mission of the Student Success Center is to promote student success through dedicated support in an inclusive and authentic academic community. The following programs are housed in the Student Success Center:

• Transfer Success Services   - serves students interested in completing their associate’s degree and transferring to a four year college to earn a bachelor’s degree.
• TRiO  Student Support Services (SSS)  - serves first-generation college students who are designated as low income or who have a documented disability
• TRiO  Student Support Services English as a Second Language (SSS-ESL)  - also serves first-generation college students who are designated as low income or who have a documented disability and is specifically designed for students whose native language is not English.
• Brother to Brother Program – The B2B program’s mission is to provide those who identify as male, the support and tools for success in academics and life.
• Red Fox Summer College Access and Success Program – The Red Fox Summer College Access and Success program is a partnership between the Community College of Aurora and Aurora Public schools with funding from the Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Program. This is a two-year program of intensive, transitional supports that begin after the student’s Junior year of high school and continues through the first 60 credits of their college degree.
• Partner Programs   - the Student Success Center also serves cohorts of students who receive a third-party scholarship, such as COSI, Mile High United Way, Denver Scholarship Foundation, GEAR Up and the Boundless Opportunity Scholarship. Additionally, the Center provides support for all CCA students participating in the ASCENT program from Aurora Public Schools, Cherry Creek Public Schools and Denver Public Schools.

The goal of each program is to support students in meeting their individual college goals through degree completion, transfer and/or career exploration. Capacity in these programs is limited and students wishing to participate must complete an application and participate in a brief interview. Students participating in these programs are expected to meet with an assigned advisor regularly, participate in workshops and other center events (fall and spring welcome back events), utilize tutoring and participate in the AAA 101 course where appropriate.

The Student Success Center also provides programming that is open to all interested students regardless of whether they are participating in one of the Center's programs. This programming includes Transfer Fairs offered each semester, tours to four-year college campuses, TRANSFERmation sessions for specific colleges and universities, and individual meetings with transfer representatives from college and universities.
