Student Success Coach
A New Model for Student Success Coaching
Valencia College will transition from our current academic advising model to a Student Success Coaching model. The transition will begin in fall 2024, with specific roles such as academic advisors, career program advisors, and program advisors being renamed as Student Success Coaches. Along with this new title, the coaches will earn a coaching certification, which will equip them with advanced skills in student support and guidance.
The New Model
The model focuses on providing personalized support and guidance to our students, extending beyond academics to consider their individual needs. It aims to provide students with the necessary resources and tools for success, emphasizing their academic and personal development and leading to improved academic planning, critical thinking, and decision-making.
The coaching model prioritizes building collaborative relationships with our students to support their learning, educational planning, and goals and create conditions that lead to student success.
Although the titles are changing from advisor to Student Success Coach the name of the department will remain as Advising Center or Student Services Department on the regional campuses.
