Office of Resiliency and Academic Support
Overview
Welcome to the Office of Academic Resilience and Support (OARS) at the University
of South Florida! Our Success Coaches provide individualized guidance to connect and
empower you as you navigate your academic and personal growth journey. Success Coaches
are trained to help you explore your options, overcome challenges, and discover opportunities
on the path to achieving your goals.
Through a series of one-on-one appointments, you can work with a Success Coach to
identify goals unique to you, map a path to success, connect with resources to support
your journey, and have an accountability buddy to make sure you stay on track as you
navigate university life.
Some of the benefits of meeting with a Success Coach include:
• Academic guidance that helps you find the best fit major and career for you
• Personalized support for your unique strengths, challenges, and aspirations
• Strategic campus connection that links you to the right support at the right time
• Help with defining your own version of student success on your college journey
• An accountability buddy to help you stay on track and cheer you on!
