So, what is academic success? And how can the College help to ensure this success?

Pursuing higher education can be challenging and even intimidating. Going through it on your own can feel overwhelming. Academic success resources provide the support and help that you need to feel less worried, giving you more time to focus on the big picture and perfect your long-term personal, academic and career-centered goals.

Imagine that you have your own support team to motivate you, and to successfully identify areas for improvement and techniques to enhance your performance, all while helping you to shape your unique vision for the future with new ideas and possibilities. Well, you do!

Your Advisors will actively listen to your concerns and challenges, then direct you to the best resources to overcome the hurdles of life. You’ll learn to identify your goals and implement success strategies specially tailored to your unique needs.

Whether you would like to improve your time management or writing skills, feel less test anxiety, aren’t sure of your major, face difficulty concentrating or have concerns about your family, finances or transportation, resources are available at EFSC to help you.

Our ultimate goal is for you to graduate successfully and begin your journey into the career of your dreams. We believe that everyone has something to offer!

Please look forward to future blog posts, in which I’ll discuss some of the most common challenges faced by students — as well as how resources at Eastern Florida can help you overcome them.
