Student Success Program

Empowering your success, one step at a time.

The Student Success Program (SSP) at the School of Information Technology (SoIT) is here to help you navigate your academic journey and set you up for success both in college and beyond! Whether you need help with time management, study strategies, or professional communication, SSP is your go-to resource for building a foundation for success.


What We Offer

  • One-on-One Coaching: Work with trained Student Success Coaches—fellow students who understand the challenges of college life. Coaches are here to help you manage time, set goals, improve study habits, and develop professional communication skills.
  • Project-Based Approach: Modeled after the UC Athletics academic success program and project management principles, the SSP helps you tackle each course like a project. Tools like the Course Game Plan and Course Scorecard help you organize tasks, deadlines, and priorities.
  • Peer Mentorship: Get guidance from a coach who’s been in your shoes and can offer tips on everything from getting involved on campus to navigating the classroom experience.

Who Can Use SSP?


  • First-Year Students: All new students are assigned a Success Coach to help them transition to college life.
  • All SoIT Students: No matter your semester, you can join SSP anytime by opting in and requesting a coach.
