Success Coaching
Success Coaching at Jessup University is a personalized, holistic support system designed to guide students from their first class through graduation.
The heart of Success Coaching is building strong, meaningful relationships that empower students to pursue their academic, spiritual, personal, and career goals. Jessup’s approach goes beyond traditional academic advising by addressing the whole student. Success Coaches provide not only guidance with degree planning and academic progress, but also spiritual encouragement, personal support, and connections to valuable campus resources and partners.
By fostering a sense of belonging and purpose, Success Coaches play a key role in helping students feel equipped, supported, and truly known as they navigate college and prepare for life beyond the classroom.
