HOW WE CAN HELP
Our Success Coaches, located on the second floor of the Library in Suite 217, are here to help students with college success skills, orient them to the campus environment, and help them achieve their goals. The Success Coach Suite provides a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for students.
Coaches attend to Early Alerts, a system that allows faculty to request one of our coaches to reach out to students who may need additional resources and support. All students are assigned a success coach who responds to early alerts issued for the student.
In addition, coaches are also available for one-on-one coaching sessions to assist with developing time management skills, motivation and goal setting, test anxiety, organization, and more! On-campus and virtual success coaching is available to all students.
We help with:
- Time management and work/life balance
- Study skills and notetaking
- Motivation and goal setting
- Test-taking and test anxiety
- Organization
- Navigating college life
