What is an UCF Online Coach?

Your online admissions and student support teams.
From application to graduation, the UCF Online Connect Center team will work with you as advocates and guides throughout your fully online academic experience at UCF. Success coaches are available to help you locate resources and create effective strategies to ensure your success.

Your success coach is a specifically trained, motivational partner who will be with you on your academic journey, from application through graduation. Through frequent and proactive engagement, your success coach will collaborate with you to co-develop strategies and skills that will help you to meet your academic, career, and personal goals. 

Your success coach will be your main point of contact as you complete your program. You’ll still work directly with your academic and finance advisors on specific needs related to your academic and finance plans, and your success coach will be there as an added measure of support to collaborate on:

  • Creating strategies to keep you on track to graduate
  • Connecting you to appropriate resources for program specific support
  • Developing plans that align with your career goals

A success coach provides high-level support, coordination and guidance for UCF Online students from the time of admission through graduation. Students can contact their success coach for anything nonacademic. All academic questions should be sent to their instructor or academic advisor.
