Welcome to Students Obtaining Success!

When you're ready to choose success, try SOS.

Students Obtaining Success (SOS) is a peer mentoring program for students on academic probation at UNC Charlotte. We realize that poor academic performance can have many different causes. This program is designed to help students identify those reasons and develop an action plan to improve grades and return to good academic standing.

Any student on academic probation may sign up for the SOS program. Participants will identify strengths and causes for difficulty. Each participant is assigned a peer mentor for support and guidance. The program will last for one semester and it is individualized—tailored to help students with specific needs and issues. Participants must commit to meeting weekly with a peer mentor and work with us to create and follow a personal plan to help regain good academic standing. Participation in SOS is voluntary and FREE!
