What is a Military Onboarding Coach?
Our Military Student Onboarding Coach is committed to ensuring a smooth transition into school as you begin your academic journey at Golden Gate University. The Diller Center works closely with the GGU Admissions and Student Success teams to make sure you have the guidance and support you need to move from acceptance to a strong start. This service is available to all of our fully admitted military-connected students to answer questions (typically about documents and navigating GGU systems) and help you get connected on campus.
