Academic Coaching    

The Academic Coaching & Success Program aims to assist students in developing themselves holistically to be best prepared to market their skills and passion throughout their academic careers and into their future endeavors. Professional academic coaches and trained peer coaches will utilize student development theory to engage students and guide their identity development through the stages of college.

This program is an amazing resource for students who could benefit from additional support in developing critical academic skills. With elements including goal setting, time management, study skills, and strengths development, our professional academic coaches assist each participant in building an action plan and the skills that will benefit them. Academic coaching is a collaborative process between the student, academic coach, and campus resources to build value to their education and self.

Academic coaching services are available to any student on campus that would like to utilize them. If you would like to develop a personalized plan to reach your goals, you can get started by scheduling an appointment with one of our professional coaches. If you prefer to get started by connecting with one of your outstanding peer coaches, you can either schedule an appointment or utilize drop-in hours.

Targeted Early Alert

The Early Alert program aims to provide timely and targeted support to students when they really need it. At key points across the scope of each term, instructors for targeted courses will receive progress report requests prompting them to submit an alert for any student that may be having difficulty. A coach will then schedule an initial meeting with each indicated student, to address any immediate concerns and develop a plan for necessary support moving forward.

Ad Hoc Early Alert

Outside of these targeted courses, anyone on campus (faculty, staff, or student) can submit an ad hoc alert at any time. If you see a student struggling. 

>> E-mail coaching@tamug.edu to refer any student for Early Alert intervention.
