Success Coaching
Success Coaches help students create and commit to their success. We understand that success looks different for everyone during the college journey. Coaches meet with students one-to-one to address challenges and create an individualized success plan.
A COACH IS…
- An accountability partner to help you handle the academic workload, build academic skills, earn strong grades, and more
- Equipped with resources to address your concerns, make a plan, and connect you with key campus staff and faculty
- Guided by our “80/20 rule”: 80% of a session is your lead, your concerns, and your perspective. Your Success Coach covers the remainder with purposeful questions, thoughtful support, and productive action steps
- Different than your Academic Advisor! Your advisor will help you understand topics such as building a class schedule, class registration, degree requirements for your major or minor, the course catalog, and other important academic policies to help you stay on track as you progress toward your degree.
COACHING WORKS BEST WHEN YOU…
- Bring open and honest communication to the session for productive conversations (and we promise to provide you with trust and patience!)
- Come prepared with assignment sheets, syllabi, or other items that help the meeting focus on a desired topic
- Show commitment to the process to help you achieve your goals
