Getting Started
Welcome to Slug Success!
Requesting Access
All currently enrolled undergraduate students automatically have access to Navigate Slug Success. Staff access to Slug Success must be requested via one of the methods below. All users who request Slug Success staff access (including student employees) must complete Electronic Note Taking and FERPA training prior to their accounts being created/updated.
- New staff Slug Success accounts can be requested via this Slug Hub request form. You can also login to the ITS SlugHub system directly (SlugHub Home) and look for the “Slug Success: Request New, Change or Remove access” request link. The request will need to be approved prior to the account being created, so supervisors should look for the approval email so they can reply accordingly.
- Student employee (Peer advisers/mentors/etc) account requests should be submitted by supervisors via this Google form. Click the following link for information about permissions available for student employees. Access requests for CSL/Housing student employees are managed via the CSL Student Employee Onboarding Matrix and do not require a separate request.

Electronic Note Taking Training
Employees whose access to Slug Success allows them to read and/or write advising reports and notes must complete this training to gain access to the system.
This training will guide you through a review of the Undergraduate Advising Notes Policy and Procedures. After each section, you will be asked to answer questions to test your understanding. After the training, you will be given information on which questions you answered correctly and incorrectly. In order to pass the training, you need to answer 80% of the questions correctly (missing no more than two). You may take the training as many times as you need to pass.
UC Learning Center access is required. If you need assistance accessing or using UC Learning Center, please email LearningCenter@ucsc.edu.
