Student Success Plans

As a member of the EOF program your EOF counselor is your SUCCESS COACH- he/she throughout your enrollment at Brookdale works with you to address “immediate” or “in the moment needs” but it is the success pathway partly built around school year goals and priorities that become the cornerstone to your SUCCESS PLAN.

Each year students submit to our program to let us know what types of school year goals/priorities they would like to work towards. Our EOF counselors review these with students and their SUCCESS PLANS in part are developed around a number of these goals/priorities.

Students may choose from a wide assortment of matters to discuss with our EOF counselors.

Listed below are the items in the form students may choose from:

• I’d like to get help writing papers for class
• Based on my interests I’d like to find out what student clubs I could join
• I have excelled in my studies and want to find out if I am eligible to join any academic honor societies
• I’d like to get support as a single parent as it is difficult managing work, school and raising a family
• I’d like reasonable academic accommodations based on a documented disability.
• I’d like to get tutoring to help me in one or more courses
• I want to gain practical experience in my field and like to find an internship or employment
• I want to complete a Study Abroad Program and need to know how I can prepare for this
