Academic Skills Coaching

What it is

Academic Skills Coaching is the one-on-one process of helping a student examine academic concerns and perceived barriers to success. Coaches provide individual semester-long support, assess the student’s strengths and needs, and devise a personalized plan of action in the following areas:

• Time management
• Procrastination
• Exam preparation
• Note taking
• Reading strategies 

What it's not

• Academic Skills Coaching is not a one-time meeting and works best on a recurring schedule.
• We encourage students who would like to have a single meeting with someone to assist their success goals to meet with our Academic Success Navigator.

Who it is for

Any student who wants to:

• Articulate their academic strengths and areas for growth

• Take responsibility for their learning

• Manage adversity to promote personal growth

• Make choices to expand their knowledge and skills to help them achieve their academic goals

• Practice purposeful leadership by collaborating and finding common ground with their coach in effort to reach their academic goals
