Success Coaching
Academic Wellbeing is currently hiring success coaches. Please email us at [[successcoaching]] to apply to become a success coach!
To participate in the Success Coaching program, please contact our Success Coaching email. Coachees must wait for a pairing email from Academic Wellbeing before scheduling.
Success Coaching is designed to support currently enrolled undergraduate students in a one-on-one setting to help them meet their goals. Trained graduate students coach undergraduate students to develop the habits and skills to succeed. All coachees are paired with a coach for recurring appointments on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.
What coachees can expect:
- Learn how to prioritize academic work
- Learn study tips & resources for your current courses
- Create a plan that establishes a healthy balance between school, personal time, work, and other commitments
- Meet with your assigned coach on a recurring basis (choices of weekly, biweekly, or monthly) to continually update and rework your plan for success this semester
Coaches
- Graduate students with relevant experience
- Friendly, encouraging, non-judgmental, & knowledgeable
- A desire to help & support students
Cost and Fee Waivers
Each 60-minute coaching session costs $25. However, thanks to the generosity of the Parents & Family Fund, we are able to offer fee waivers to students. Once our funding is fully allocated, standard fees will apply. All charges will be billed to your student account at the end of each month. If you are interested in financial assistance, please contact us at our Success Coaching email.
Scheduling
In order to be paired with a success coach, all students must be referred to the program. If you are interested in receiving success coaching services but you have not been referred, please reach out to [[successcoaching]] and an Academic Wellbeing staff member will work with you to determine if the Success Coaching program will suit your needs.
Success coaches will set up recurring appointments in our scheduling system for all sessions following the first meeting.
