Hello friend! My name is Bree and I have been a Student Success Coach with 365球赛平台 since 2022. My educational and professional background is in clinical mental health and the human services field. I feel as though my purpose in life is to help and serve those around me, which is why I enjoy academic coaching. With my counseling skills, I can assist our students in a unique and dynamic way. When I am not working, I enjoy being outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and finding new places to explore! I look forward to working with you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions

No, Success Coaching is a free resource available to currently enrolled students, from your first semester through graduation. Success Coaching aims to help you in your academic journey and connect you with additional campus resources as needed.

During the coaching session, YOU lead the conversation. We encourage our students to advocate for themselves. We will actively listen to you, ask clarifying questions, and help you create a plan to achieve your academic goals.

As a Success Coach it is our duty to provide you with the tools and resources necessary to become and remain successful throughout your academic journey. We will talk to you about your classes and academics to tailor an academic action plan based off your specific needs.

A Success Coach contacts a student via email, phone call, text or all three. Our purpose is to check in and to provide you with the help and support you may need. Our hope is to give you the skills to be successful here at Ocean County College and beyond!

Appeals

  • Tuition Refund Appeal – This appeal should be filed if the student believes that there is a reason or extenuating circumstance that prevents them from paying their tuition. Oftentimes, this appeal is filed along with the F to W Appeal.
  • F to W Appeal – This appeal should be filed if a student receives a failing grade in one or more of their courses and wishes for it to be changed on their transcript to appear as if they had withdrawn from the course. There should be evidence of an extenuating circumstance that prevented the student from being successful within the course.
  • Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal (SAP) – This appeal is for students who have had their Financial Aid suspended due to unsatisfactory academic performance. The purpose of this appeal is to show that the student is ready to recover academically and petition to have their financial aid reinstated.
