All students in the Master’s in Behavior Analysis program at UC Online are provided access to a Student Success Coordinator to help guide them from enrollment to graduation. This is why our behavior analysis program boasts a 90% graduation rate and is top ten in the world in volume of students to pass the BCBA exam.

Step-by-Step with: Heather M. 

Program: Master of Education in Foundations of Behavior Analysis

Background:

My background has been in the Higher Education field. With over 10 years’ experience, I have worked with students through positions in enrollment management and student support. I enjoy helping students achieve their educational goals and see them succeed in their program!

Orientation Support:

All new students meet with me via a Welcome Call. This call provides students with a program overview, how to navigate the UC learning and student information systems, class registration, and graduation planning.

Our behavior analysis program offers a virtual Learning Community where students can connect with others in the program, staff, and faculty, ‘outside the classroom’. Our Learning Community is also a wealth of resources and knowledge for our students to utilize throughout their time in the program.

Administration Support:

UC Online has a dedicated staff member for financial aid. As a Student Success Coordinator, we will connect students to our resources in the Student One Stop/Financial Aid Office.

Our Faculty and support staff for the behavior analysis program are awesome, from our faculty to program directors, students have additional support within the program.

Course Registration:

Students will register through the University’s Catalyst system. During the Welcome Call Process I walk students through utilizing this system and am available to help them each semester with this process.

At any point if a student has questions or issues registering, I’m here to help!

Check-ins:

I check in with my students periodically throughout the semester. With new students I will call them within their first 3-4 weeks in the program to get feedback about their experience thus far. I also check-in with upcoming graduates about their experience in the program.

As the SSC for the behavior analysis program, I am here to be supportive in addition to being a liaison to the University and academic advisor. I encourage students to reach out at any point no matter what the issue may be.

Graduation Support:

The MEd. in Behavior Analysis is a program that can be completed in 5 semesters, we set a graduation date during our first call!

Student issues pop-up, whether that is needing to sit out a semester or needing to retake a course. I work with each student to revise their academic plan and set a new target semester for graduation.
