Academic Success Coaching

Students who receive an Academic Probation letter are required to engage in Academic Success Coaching (ASC) during the semester that immediately follows receipt of the letter. These students are required to schedule and attend three 45-min coaching sessions before registration opens for the following semester. If students do not finish their three coaching sessions before the registration date, a hold will be placed on their accounts until they engage with their coach.

Coach and student work together to identify, prioritize, and address obstacles in the way of the student’s holistic success. Sessions follow a strengths-based coaching approach and are not to be a substitute for counseling, therapy, or academic advising.

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as:

“Partnering with students in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Coach/Student Duties and Responsibilities

As a coach, I will:

  • Be accessible, unbiased, and non-judgemental.
  • Be an equal thought-partner with students as they define, develop, and pursue their goals.
  • Maintain the ethics, standards of behavior, and confidentiality established by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
  • Report otherwise confidential information to authorities if necessary.

As a student, I will:

  • Accept responsibility and ownership for my academic success while being honest about my goals and progress.
  • Be open to feedback and be willing to try new skills, strategies, and ways of thinking.
  • Not expect my coach to serve as an academic advisor, tutor, or therapist.
  • Contact my coach in advance if I need to cancel and/or reschedule a coaching session.

Coordinator of this program is Mimi Harding, who is located within the Teaching and Learning Center (above Studio Brew and next to the Library). Please reach out to her at hardingm@ucnsa.edu if you have any questions or concerns about ASC.
