The prevalence of mental health symptoms on university campuses is high and rising, resulting in detrimental effects on academic performance. Few resources exist to address the needs of students who must leave school for mental health reasons. Seeking to understand the effect of a college reentry program (NITEO) to assist students in reengaging with undergraduate studies, we conducted in-depth qualitative interviews with all college coaches ( = 5), triangulating our findings with interviews of NITEO students ( = 31). We used a rapid and focused ethnographic approach with thematic and content analysis using NVivo software. Two major themes arose from our analyses affirming the role of the college coach in (1) developing a strong working alliance as a foundation for coaching; (2) promoting self-determination. Programs that enable students with mental health conditions who have dropped out to reenter college are needed; college coaching can be an effective approach.
