What is Academic Coaching?

Updated on

Have you ever worked with a Sports Coach? ⚽ 

Academic Coaches are like sports coaches, but they guide students toward academic success. Your coach will help you identify your strengths, exercise your skills, and grow your academic muscles to create a solid foundation for your future. They are your long-term partners helping you win the championship of a degree.  

Whether you need an accountability partner, help with time management, guidance on understanding rubrics and course expectations, or strategies to stay motivated and productive, an Academic Coach is here for you.  

Why schedule a session?

  • Get organized and manage your time effectively  
  • Gain clarity on assignments and instructor expectations  
  • Build confidence in your academic journey  
  • Stay motivated and on track toward your goals.  

What if I don't have the time to meet with a coach?  

Academic Coaches can work with your schedule and frequency of support. There are many ways you can connect with your coach such as email, phone calls, drop-in office hours, 1:1 sessions, or blend of them all. You decide!  

Everyone deserves a coach in their corner. Schedule a session today and start developing the skills you need to succeed!  

📅 Book your session now!  

Once on the platform, choose Academic Coaching from the “Pre-Scheduled Support” tab at the top. Then, the right-hand side box. See the image below.

Then, click “Continue.” On the next screen, you will be asked to choose a goal. Try to choose one that most fits your needs. This goal can be adjusted once you meet with your coach. Then, choose “All Coaches.” Last, click a day on the calendar that works for you, and all of the coaches available that day will appear.
