Academic Coaching
The Student Success team helps students improve their academic game and enhance their college experience. Whether you are a freshman or a senior, everyone needs a little help at times. Each semester brings new classes and new instructors, which calls for new skills and strategies for success.
Our Student Success Staff will work with you to develop individualized success plans to help you succeed in the classroom and balance academics with other parts of life. We help students to set and reach academic goals through consistent monitoring and communication throughout the semester, and to organize and manage time and tasks, improve note-taking skills, prepare for exams, and so much more!
