The Student Success Coaches work hand-in-hand with our faculty to monitor the progress of students’ academic performance. As needed, these Success Coaches collaborate with students to ensure they have a clearly defined path for success in their courses.

The Student Success Coaches can meet with a student once, or regularly, throughout the semester. During a meeting, students may ask questions about their work load, extracurricular activities or study schedule.  This will help the Student Success Coaches provide advice and practical methods for managing academic work successfully.
