What is Success Coaching?

UF coaches recognize students as the experts in their lives and partner with them to maximize personal, professional, and academic success. Coaches connect students to university resources, address barriers, and develop support networks. This results in an action plan that creates a positive university experience.

Coaching sessions are student-centered and tailored to the needs of the individual. Coaches work with their students through collaboration and conversation, allowing them to steer the course of their coaching experience. Students leave feeling empowered and energized with new ideas and information.
