Academic Coaching

When a student’s Total Institutional GPA at the end of any semester is less than a 2.00, they are placed on academic probation. Please note as a part of academic probation, students are required to attend an academic coaching session. These sessions are meant to establish a plan for success. Your academic coach and you will discuss your strengths, set goals, and review resources. Once the session is completed, the registration hold may be lifted from your account.

Schedule Your Academic Coaching Session

An academic coach’s goal is to help a student with any concerns they may have that are affecting the student’s grades. We want to help you create an individualized plan for success, focusing on areas such as personal well-being, time management, study skills and course choices. Your coach will email you before the beginning of the semester to introduce themselves and to set up a coaching session. As your academic coach, we prefer to have your session in person but if in-person is not an option, we will set up a phone call or Zoom meeting.

You will receive a postcard in the mail providing information on your academic coach’s name and contact information. If you have not received that information, please contact Ms. Faulkenberry.
