The Success Program was a mandatory academic coaching program for freshmen who were placed on academic probation at the end of their first academic quarter, consisting of a two-hour workshop led by faculty coaches followed by either a one-on-one session with a coach or the completion of a reflection assignment after visiting a campus resource. The two-hour workshop consisted of two parts: a 30-minute meeting with all session participants focused on normalizing failure and academic challenges and raising awareness of campus resources; a 90-minute breakout session in groups of 6-8 students that involved completing structured reflection and goal-setting exercises, worksheets, and group discussion. Students also were required to complete a campus engagement assignment within the first four weeks of the quarter.

Eligible Success Program participants were first-year freshmen on academic probation. The Success Program was evaluated at a large four-year university in central California.
