What to Expect from Success Coaching in your first year at UB

Summer Before Fall Winter Spring Summer After

Summer after your first year/semester

Your Success Coach will be available for you to contact until August. At that point, you will be disconnected from your Success Coach. You will be ready to navigate campus and connect with resources on your own! If you have any questions or concerns about transitioning away from working with your Success Coach they’ll be happy to talk through those with you over the Summer. 

Pro Tip

Use the academic calendar to plan for Summer and Fall.
