“Having a welcoming, no judgmental environment made me feel so comfortable in my own skin. I love that we are given the campus resources that should have been given in the beginning, and we do assignments that go along with the resources. I also love that the instructor obviously loves their job and shows that in their work everyday.”
“The class lectures were amazing!”
“The Rebound program and this class is great, it should be something everyone has to take as a first year student!”
Students Obtaining Success (SOS) Peer Mentoring Program
Students Obtaining Success (SOS) is a peer-based mentoring program for undergraduate students experiencing academic difficulties or on academic probation. SOS is a semester-long program and is individually tailored to help students identify their unique challenges, improve academic performance, and return to good academic standing.
SOS empowers students to identify strengths and challenges, develop academic and personal success strategies, and connect with appropriate campus resources. Students meet one-on-one with an undergraduate peer mentor on a weekly basis to develop an individualized plan to return to good academic standing. Participants develop effective academic strategies, learn to improve time management, connect with campus resources, and more. To complete this option, you must participate in at least ten (10) meetings over the course of the semester. Attend a 49er Rebound Workshop or email successful@uncc.edu to enroll.
