Academic Coaches
An Academic Coach is someone who is there to support your overall success as a student. We are available to work with you one-on-one so you can feel more prepared and confident with reaching your goals.
The ways an Academic Coach can help include:
- Building on academic skills such as time management, study tips, exam prep, note-taking methods, and strategies to improve your motivation
- Teaching you how to navigate your courses in talon
- Helping understand college policies and expectations
- Working on goal setting and accountability
- Providing information and connection to any resources or needed support services
- Listening to any concerns that you may have, then proactively helping to problem solve and find solutions
- Meeting on a regular basis for progress check-ins and ongoing support throughout the semester as needed
Academic Coaching is available for students taking classes in an online, hybrid, or FlexFORWARD format.
