Office of Academic Resilience and Support

what to expect

During the coaching process, students will serve as the expert of themselves and the Success Coach is there to guide the process. At the first appointment, the student and the Success Coach will discuss what topics the student wants to work on and help create goals and an action plan. The Success Coach will connect the student to the right departments and student support resources to support their action plans. Then the Success Coach will serve as a motivational champion as the student progresses towards their goals!

The number of follow-up appointments will vary from student to student based on their needs. Our Success Coaches want to serve as an accountability buddy, so, we encourage students to utilize our services until their goals are met!

Students have the flexibility to be able to set their own goals on whatever topic(s) are most important to them. Examples of the most common goals that students set with our Coaches include:

  • Academic Challenges
