I have done all of the research I can in order to find out what type of succulent this is with no prevail! I've gathered that it grows similar to that of the Jade plant but it looks very different in leaf shape and overall color. It also grows extremely quickly, unlike the Jade plant, within 24-48 hours I will see a new set of leaves sprout from the stem.

cotyledon orbiculata var oblonga. Can pinpoint the exact cultivar, since there are many.Plant isnt in a great shape btw

Thank you! I know that it isn't doing well, I was hoping that by finding out what type of plant this was, I would better be able to solve the issue, as I don't know what it's specific needs are. If you have any suggestions or tips they would be greatly appreciated!

to the forum ImaTato!
With succulents more light is always a good practice. Virtually all of them want to grow in full sun which is hard to provide indoors.

Pretty much what calpoly said.You will see this often on cactus&succulent forums, but the answer to about 60% of the problems are light, light more light, and light. And them some. The others would fall under : pots, drainage, watering frequency and pests.

I wouldn't mind putting it outside but due to the weather this time of year, where I'm located it rains quite frequently. 1-2 times a week and the temp fluctuates from mid 50's F down to 20's. So I have considered purchasing a grow light to compensate but I do not know if that would be sufficient. They "see" the sun for only 8-9 hours a day.

You can never have "too much" light for succulents - get the plant light.

This is likely a physical impossibility given the days are only 10 hours long, and even a perfect southerly exposure will still have objects on the horizon that block the sun at the beginning and the end of the day. The sun only gets a third of the way to vertical (at these latitudes) at this time of year. A much more reasonable guess would be 4-6 hours for a bright southerly exposure like ours (with only ocean on the horizon for most of the day at this time of year). I would caution against assuming how much light an indoor plant gets without observing the actual times when sun hits the plant over the course of a day, and how that changes with the seasons.

If an indoor plant like the one pictured can actually "see" the sun (documented line of sight contact, no curtain or blinds in the way) for 4 hours a day, weather permitting, that should be more than enough to keep it perfectly happy at your latitude.

Update!

Thank you for all the advice so far! I have gone ahead and moved all of my plants to a different location. It is still getting some sun and I have also provided it a UVA light set on a 12 hour cycle so that I know exactly how much light it gets a day. I have also started to water it more frequently rather than once a week I now water it every 3-4 days. However, it still continues to have problems. While all of my other succulents seem to be doing much better, this particular plant seems to be unhappy regardless of how I care for it lol. I will note that all of the plants I own are "rescued" plants i.e. gotten for free or less than dirt cheap due to their condition. I have included a picture to show it's condition the day I got it. I have a feeling it may not recover completely.

You're keeping your plants under a UV light?

If you tug gently at the base of the plant, is it still firmly attached to the soil?

Yes, an Ultraviolet A light. In addition to the sun light from a window.

The plant is rooted into the soil.
