Academic Coaching

Academic coaching is a program offered by the office of Student Accessibility and Academic Support in the Academic Success Center. The program matches undergraduate students with a trained academic coach who will meet with the student and assist them in their quest to be successful students. Academic coaches are committed to providing outstanding service to our students by utilizing coaching strategies that facilitate the development of each student served. 

Coaching focuses on personal development, time management, goal setting, motivation, study skills, resource connection and campus engagement.
