Academic Coaching at »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ

Students receiving guidance at the One Stop Center at »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ.

What is coaching?

»Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ coaches engage with students one-on-one to discover and develop solutions that fit their life and priorities through personalized plans of action. By working with a coach, students will be able to:

  • Identify and articulate their academic strengths and areas for growth;
  • Identify and utilize campus resources;
  • Develop skills and strategies to meet academic and personal goals; and
  • Create a plan to achieve their goals.

Coaches work with students in ways that support their needs. Some students meet with a coach once a semester, some once a week. On campus and virtual meeting options are available. Coaching is not intended to add your plate, but to help you clean your plate!
