American Indian Student Support Services

The American Indian Student Support Services (AISSS) under the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost of the University, aims to serve all American Indian students at all campuses needing and seeking support to become academically and personally successful at Arizona State University (ASU). The AISSS is committed to assisting American Indian students in the pursuit of their academic success through coordinated transition and retention efforts. The program strives to improve the academic and cultural diversity of ASU and provides support for American Indian students to ensure a quality education experience.

At Tempe, we are located on the third floor of Discovery Hall. Come see our location and visit the various services AISSS has to offer.  AISSS offices are also located at Downtown, Polytechnic and West campuses.  You can find more information on Contact Us.

Retention - Student Support

The primary aim of AISSS is to increase the retention and graduation rates of American Indian students, increase individual academic achievement levels, empower students to be resourceful, assist students to be resilient when challenged by academic pressure, provide positive social/cultural experiences and to sustain the administrative function of AISSS. In this effort, AISSS provides students a number of support services including a computer lab, tutorial services, study area, advising/referral service, workshops, graduate opportunities, and access to information about scholarship/internships.

Outreach/Recruitment

The AISSS engages in some recruitment activities through American Indian education conferences, career fairs, high school visits upon request, and on-campus tours.
