Narrative: Student pilot soloing landed and went off to the left side of the runway hitting the non-paved area of the runways. No damage was done to the airplane nor to the runway lights. Windy with some wind gust factor may have been a factor on this situation. Student pilot has the required training and was signed off to do solo activities with more than 20 hours in the airplane.


Second narrative: I was operating [a] Cessna for a solo training flight out of ZZZ. Veered off Runway XXL during ground roll after landing and during the following takeoff. Conditions noted during my preflight from ATIS advised me that winds were 080 at 7 knots. While on approach to land on Runway XXL; Tower advised area traffic that the winds had changed to 140 at 7 knots gusting to 17 knots. I continued my approach and landed on XXL. When all three wheels were on the ground the aircraft veered left and I was unable to establish directional control which caused the aircraft to veer left further off the runway onto the dirt apron. I straightened the airplane to be parallel with the runway and began to apply the brakes slowly to come to a stop. Tower asked if I was okay and requested me to taxi off of the apron; back onto the runway and ultimately back to the taxi lane. I informed Tower that I could; and was instructed to taxi back to Runway XXL. I completed the taxi back to Runway XXL and prepared for takeoff.While holding short of Runway XXL Tower advised me that I was clear for takeoff. I rolled out to the centerline of the runway and throttled up for takeoff. As I approached takeoff speed; before lifting off the aircraft again veered left and again I was unable to establish directional control of the aircraft. The aircraft veered left off the runway onto the dirt apron. Again I established directional control in the dirt and brought the airplane to a stop. Tower again asked [if] I was okay to which I told them I was; and requested a taxi route to the ramp for parking. Tower acknowledged and provided me a taxi route to the ramp where I parked the airplane.Immediately upon parking I inspected the aircraft for any damage (none found) and called my flight instructor to inform him [of] what happened. While parked I again checked ATIS which updated the winds to variable at 6 knots. In closing; I believe a combination of the changing winds and not correcting for them appropriately caused these incidents.


Synopsis: C172 student pilot and flight instructor reported a loss of aircraft control and runway excursion by the student during solo landing and subsequent takeoff.
