Your Goals, Your Plans

Success Coaches are here to help when you want to take stock of your current habits, find clarity, be more intentional, set a new goal, or reignite your motivation. 

You have options.

  • Our success workshops cover topics related to goal setting, defining success on our terms, and thriving as a student. All workshops are 50 minutes. No sign-up/RSVP is required to attend.
  • Drop-in coaching is held in-person at various community centers on campus and no appointment is necessary.
  • Individual appointments are one-on-one conversations with a success coach to help you build on what you’ve learned in the workshops. Appointments are scheduled on OASIS Scheduler and conversations can happen in person, on the phone or on Zoom.
  • SLCS templates can help you get started any time.
  • If you're not sure where to start, consider taking our Success Coaching and Learning Strategies self-assessment.

Goal Setting 

Practice using the SMART goal framework to design a goal. We will also explore the power that positive emotion holds in helping us take action toward and achieve our goals.

Thrive Versus Survive

Let’s examine our behaviors and habits to design action plans to strengthen our study system. What’s working, what could be working better?

  • Monday, 9/29 (3:10-4:00 PM); 114 South Hall

Drop-In Coaching

Whether you want to ask a specific question, have an accountability check in, or are just curious about what coaching can help you with, all are welcome to drop in.

Fall 2025 Hours:

  • TBD

Individual Appointments

Meet with a Success Coach if you want to:

  • Identify factors contributing to procrastination
  • Boost your motivation or get unstuck
  • Make a plan for follow-through and accountability
  • Discover and map out goals and future plans 

During an individual appointment, expect your Success Coach to listen, ask questions, and serve as your thinking partner. We are also learning strategists, and can share with you research-based ways to manage your time more efficiently and effectively.

3 questions to consider in preparation for your appointment

  • What’s an important or urgent topic for you right now?
  • If you and your coach made progress on this topic, what do you hope would change?
  • Do you have a specific outcome in mind for this appointment? If so, what is it?
  • Optional: Is this appointment part of a required agreement with OSSJA or your College? If so, how can this conversation best support you right now?

Scheduling an Appointment

  • Appointments are 30 minutes, and can be a one-time session or an ongoing check-in with the same coach.
  • If you are signing up for an initial appointment, please be descriptive when filling out the reason for the appointment in the Advising Appointment System. This helps your success coach best prepare for the appointment.
  • Disclaimer: Success Coaching is not a substitute for academic advising (university requirements, course selection and scheduling, change of major, etc.)
