Success Coaching
A trained academic coach will meet with you one-on-one to discuss perceived barriers to success, develop a personalized plan of action, learn and implement new strategies and skills, and take full advantage of campus resources.
Meeting with an academic coach is one of the best ways to personalize your education and get on track academically. You can meet with an academic coach one time, or as often as you want, to help increase your confidence and achieve your goals.

Organizational Tip: Get a Calendar
A calendar can really help you organize your events for the month, semester or year. If you prefer quick visual reminders and keeping track of your events in one place, you may like a printed calendar. If you’re tech-savvy and want to access your events on multiple devices, you might prefer a digital calendar, which can provide you with reminders about upcoming events like:
- Assignment due dates
- Test dates
- Work hours
- Appointments
- Meetings
- Plans with family and friends
Creating a routine can help you stay consistent, day-to-day and week-to-week. Write down your weekly schedule on a whiteboard or calendar, then establish time blocks that you spend doing your homework. This schedule can help focus your time and stay on task.
Remember your routine may change if a last-minute obligation comes up. Show yourself some grace. You can update your schedule to plan ahead and adjust accordingly.
