Currently, school failure comes up as one of the biggest concerns regarding all discussions over higher education, which has lead to the development of new school-failure preventive intervention strategies. The present study aims to present an interdisciplinary intervention program at the level of academic success promotion, including psychological support, social support and promotion of healthy lifestyles, which was put to practice through GAP-SASUC’s model. Regarding the four intervention areas under this model (psychology consultation; peer support; social work; research), the results concerning the identification of higher education students’ needs and problems, the intervention strategies used and their assessment are presented. The results, either in reference to the raise on participation, or regarding the positive assessment obtained from the students involved, corroborate the utility brought by this interactive model to the psychological development of higher education students. Furthermore, some implications decurrent from the development and use of this model, with incidence for higher education students’ well-being and success promotion, are mentioned.
