Coaching Training

The Student Success Coaching Program (SSCP) supports the success and retention of a distinct cohort of students at UC San Diego through a variety of coaching programs and services. Our hallmark approach is using coaching as a vehicle to partner with students to achieve their goals. Through coaching, we offer academic support, information, skill development, and advocacy that inspires and empowers first-generation college students, and equips them with skills to be successful in navigating their college life. We believe that through coaching, we can assist students to establish meaningful connections at UC San Diego and to develop personal and professional skills and experiences.

The SSCP supports approximately 2,000+ first-generation college students. Our program operates on a cohort basis, where first-generation college students with the highest academic need and not already being supported by OASIS Summer Bridge, Chancellor's Associates Scholars Program (CASP), Triton Community Leadership Institute (TCLI), and TRIO Student Support Services Program are matched with a coach. However, referrals from these units and the UC San Diego community are taken on an individual basis via self, staff, and faculty referrals.
