My success coach actually communicated with me on a regular basis, just checked in with me. I would frequently get phone calls from them, just making sure that I was comfortable with what was going on, making sure that I didn't need anything. The success coach mentored us through anything that we could have thought of as we were students here at UMGC.

How You Can Suceed


"My success coach she was great. She always followed up with me, sent me emails. She would check in with me in the middle of the session and then at the end. She was the one that encouraged me to get my minor. Because I had three classes left, she's like, you know what you have three classes left to get a minor degree and I'm like let's do it. So because of her, I now have a minor added to my degree."
