Success Starts with You!

ESU Success Coaches provide individualized academic support designed to help you build essential skills, strengthen academic confidence, and reach your full academic potential. Through academic coaching and tailored interventions, we support your transition to the rigor of higher education while helping you develop a personalized academic success plan aligned with your degree requirements and long-term goals.

Working collaboratively, Success Coaches partner with you to identify and overcome academic challenges, clarify next steps, and create a clear pathway from enrollment through program or course completion. Each student is paired with a Student Success Coach (SSC) aligned with their college or degree program, who supports all aspects of the campus experience and provides guidance throughout the journey to degree completion.

Student Success Coaches promote improved academic performance by helping students develop a growth-oriented mindset, establish effective study habits, strengthen self-advocacy skills, and build a supportive campus network.

Student Success Coach (SSC) meetings are intentional, student-centered partnerships designed to foster self-management, persistence, and academic success. In these meetings, coaches work with students to:

  • Strategically access and use campus resources, including Tutoring, Counseling, and Accommodations
  • Navigate the academic and personal transition to college for first-year and transfer students
  • Increase engagement through meaningful campus involvement
  • Build productive relationships with faculty and campus partners (e.g., professors, Residence Life)
  • Understand and maintain Financial Aid academic requirements
  • Strengthen time management, organization, and planning skills
  • Develop and implement personalized strategies to achieve academic and long-term goals

Student Success Coaches track student progress and targeted areas of support using WarriorFish. Students can visit “My Success Network” in WarriorFish to schedule appointments, connect with their assigned Success Coach, and access campus support resources.
