What is the Student Success Program?
The Student Success Program promotes students to gain a sense of belonging at Skyline College by partnering students with their Meta Major Counselor, who they meet with regularly until they return to good academic standing and through transfer and/or graduation.
We also provide Success Workshops, designed for students to learn more about their academic standing, engage with campus resources, and hear motivational stories from students who persevered through academic probation and transferred to a four-year university. Students who participate in the Student Success Program show remarkable improvements on their academic motivation and overall performance.
Trust us, it’s worth your time!
Note: Students participating in the Promise Scholars Program, EOPS, or TRiO will continue to meet with their program counselor.
Students participating in the Student Success Program meet with their Meta Major Counselor once during the first month of the Fall or Spring semester. During this appointment, students will develop a Student Educational Plan (SEP), discuss strategies to improve their academic record, and set goals for the semester.
After meeting with their Meta Major Counselor, students participating in the Student Success Program are to complete a Success Workshop. Success Workshops are designed for students to learn more about their academic standing, engage with campus resources, and hear motivational stories from students who persevered through academic probation and have transferred to a four-year university.
