Academic Coaching Program

Academic Coaching

Students experiencing academic difficulties may benefit from working 1-on-1 with an Academic Coaching Academic Coach. Academic Coaches help students to put together a plan for success by focusing on the individual's academic strengths and weaknesses. Academic Coaches are available to help students address problems that impede academic progress such as procrastination, time mismanagement, and related issues.  Academic Coaches develop plans to strengthen specific academic skills after an initial assessment.
