Benefits of Success Coaching
You can expect your coach to:
- Motivate, guide, and advise you. Coaching is not about giving solutions, but rather working with you to come up with your own
- Challenge you to reach new levels of achievement
- Help you to establish meaningful goals and hold you accountable for following through on them
- Introduce and connect you to new skills, critical resources, and opportunities
- Provide frequent and proactive outreach and communication of key RU-C dates, deadlines, information, and events to promote your success
What is Success Coaching
Success coaching is an impactful relationship that is developed to help students become more accomplished. In a collaborative effort, students define realistic goals, and their success coaches assist in creating action plans that allow students to build upon their skills and feel empowered to make important decisions. Coaches ensure that students are well-connected to resources so that they are continuously making strides toward meeting their objectives and will monitor and assess students’ progress to identify successes or help to overcome any setbacks.

Success Coach FAQ
How will my Success Coach contact me?
Success Coaches will get in touch with you through Rutgers email (Scarletmail) and/or via phone, text, Residence Life staff, or other campus administrators.
How quickly can I expect a response from my Success Coach if I have questions or concerns?
Coaches usually respond as quickly as possible, aiming for a response time between 1-2 business days. If your Success Coach is out of the office, another Success Coach is always available to help. If you have an urgent matter, you are encouraged to drop-in or call the main office to speak to the first available staff member. If you are experiencing an emergency while the office is closed, you are advised to alert campus police at 856-225-6009.
When is the Student Success Coach office open?
The main Student Success Coach Office hours are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Each coach holds extended hours until 7pm, once a week, Monday through Thursday (during fall & spring semesters only). Check with your coach to find out when they can accommodate late appointments. During weather and holidays closures, success coaches are not in the office. Our office is open the first business day after New Year’s Day, during spring break, and throughout the summer.
