Academic Coaching Program

Students are matched with a staff, faculty, or peer mentor to discuss study habits such as time management, note-taking, or test preparation. To qualify for the program, students should have under a 3.0 CGPA.  The Academic Coaching coordinator will contact students who express an interest in being part of the program with additional details.  Students are able to participate in both tutoring and academic coaching.
