Success Plans
The Learning Commons and campus partners have created Success Plans which is a targeted support for specific student populations. Students assigned a plan are required to complete a specific set of Learning Commons services by the end of the semester. Plans are created based on student needs, research and best practices for academic success, and data collected by the Learning Commons.
There are a few ways to find out if you have been assigned a Success Plan. Review the actions below to see if you have one this semester.
- Check your UC email: If you have been assigned a plan, you will get an initial email early in the semester from the college or program who assigned one. It will have details about the requirement including the Learning Commons service to attend, amount to complete, deadlines, and any additional requirements for you.
- Check TracCloud: TracCloud is the Learning Commons' online scheduling system. This is where you schedule a service and also check your Success Plan progress. More details on how to log in and find your Success Plan in TracCloud are found in the next question below.
You are able to see your Success Plan in the Learning Commons online scheduling system, TracCloud. To do so, follow the following steps:
1. Go to TracCloud by clicking this link or going to the Learning Commons' website and clicking Schedule a Service button in the top left menu.
2. Log in using your UC username and password.
3. If you have a Success Plan, you will see You have a Success Plan! located in the middle left portion of the TracCloud homepage. See screenshot below for reference.
If you don't have a plan, this will not show up. If you do not see a Success Plan, but know you should have one, contact your college or program contact (information on this is found in the question below).
Plan requirements, deadlines, and exemptions are decided by the college or program. If you have questions about your Success Plan details, use the chart below and email your college or program contact.
