Student Success Plan

By creating your Student Success Plan (SSP) with concrete and realistic steps, you put yourself in control of a personalized strategy for you to achieve your academic and personal goals.

Your Student Success Plan (SSP) will help you to:

• Understand your motivation to pursue your education, your educational experiences, and the tools you can use.
• Acknowledge your strengths and discover areas that can be improved.
• Set-up specific achievements in your coursework at Broward College and your life.

Goal Setting

Write your most important goals down. Use the SMART formula for achieving your goals.

S= Specific. Make your goal as specific as possible. Example: I will have a 2.50 cumulative GPA by the end of the fall semester.

M= Measurable. Be sure that your goal is measurable. Example: I will be able to measure whether I have achieved my desired GPA at the end of the semester.

A= Attainable. Set goals that you can achieve. Example: I have done the math and know that a 2.0 cumulative GPA by the end of the semester is possible.

R= Realistic. Set goals that are realistic. Example: I can realistically achieve a 2.50 cumulative GPA if I earn 4 B’s and 1 C this semester.

T= Timely. Establish a timeline for reaching your goal. Example: I can achieve my goal by the end of the spring semester.

Step 1. Set Your Goals - Identify three goals related to your academic and personal success.

Step 2. Make an Action Plan – Break your goal into small steps that will help you work toward your main goal. Remember that each step must be measurable and attainable.

Step 3. Look Ahead – For each step above, think about any resources or support needed. Do you have these resources? If not, what will you need to do to obtain each?

I understand and plan to use all the tools available to me as a student at Broward College outlined in my Success Plan and Student Handbook. I know that if I need assistance as it pertains to academic matters I can speak with my Professors, Mentors, Success Coach, Academic Advisor, Student Support Services, or other college staff.

As a condition of my participation in TRIO Student Support Services (SSS), the services indicated in my plan are required to achieve my academic and personal success for the Spring 2023 semester. Proper documentation of attendance must be obtained.
