Success and Coaching

What is Academic Success Coaching?

The team of Academic Success Coaches are here to support you! Our coaches work with students to identify obstacles and create collaborative solutions to empower you to achieve your academic goals.  

When you meet with a coach, you will engage in a conversation designed to enhance your academic performance and well-being. Coaching provides a partnership between an Academic Success Coach and students seeking to develop strategies for being successful in college and/or improve their Grade Point Average (GPA). The goal is to help you achieve your optimal academic performance – we want you to do well in school, graduate, and move on to the next step, whether that be to a career or pursuing a higher degree.

This partnership is designed to:

• Identify barriers to academic progress
• Implement a personal solution to challenging issues or areas of concern
• Explore and practice good study skills and habits
• Discover College resources available to support your personal, social and academic goals

How can meeting with a Success Coach help me?

Your Success Coaches are committed to providing you with ongoing support. From improving time management to addressing test anxiety, Academic Success Coaches help you stay on track as you progress. After an initial visit, you can schedule follow-up appointments to help you increase your confidence and achieve your goals. These visits are free and available to all students.
