Academic Coaching

Academic Coaching is a service offered by TRIO ACES, but it is not a requirement to participate in the program. Students who participate in coaching should adhere to the expectations in the Academic Coaching Agreement. Students may receive Educational Support services in addition to Academic Coaching.

What is Academic Coaching?

Academic Coaching is a student-driven goal-oriented process that provides students with structure and strategies needed to achieve academic success.  The coach helps the student create, meet, and exceed academic goals while honoring the student as an independent and resourceful individual.  Students are responsible for setting their own goals and creating a plan to achieve them.  The coach does not control the plan, the coach monitors and supports the plan by offering encouragement, asking meaningful questions, and providing helpful feedback.
