Summary

The Success Program was a mandatory academic coaching program for college freshmen who were placed on academic probation at the end of their first academic quarter, and consisted of a two-hour workshop led by faculty coaches followed by either a one-on-one session with a coach or the completion of a reflection assignment after visiting a campus resource.

The two-hour workshop consisted of two parts. The first part was a 30-minute meeting with all session participants focused on normalizing failure and academic challenges and raising awareness of campus resources. The second part was a 90-minute breakout session in groups of six to eight students that involved completing structured reflection and goal-setting exercises, worksheets, and group discussion. Students also were required to complete a campus engagement assignment within the first four weeks of the quarter.

The Success Program was implemented at a large four-year university in central California.
