How Academic Success Coaching Can Help You
You may have worked with our office for help with your UCF application, but once you’re accepted, the Office of Academic Success Coaching will be an important part of your experience. Each student at UCF has an assigned Academic Success Coach who supports their students from start to finish. Your assigned CCIE coach will be with you during your entire UCF journey and will be routinely meeting with you to monitor your success.
Our coaches will provide guidance on selecting (or changing) majors and minors, help you create a semester-by-semester academic plan, and ensure you’re on track to graduate on time. We will also connect you to resources for study abroad, financial aid, scholarships, tutoring services and other experiences to make your time at UCF successful and fun.
Life's unexpected challenges can sometimes require students to hit pause on their academic journey. Whether grappling with personal issues, health concerns, or family emergencies, your academic success coach will also coach you through options while you address these matters.
As you get closer to completing your degree, your coach will provide plenty of information about graduation and advice for post-graduation plans, whether that includes finding a job or applying for graduate school.
At UCF, everyone has potential and we’re thrilled to help you unleash yours! We look forward to creating a personalized academic plan just for you!
