The structure of Academic Coaching is highly dependent on the plan outlined between the student and Academic Coach. Below are some general guidelines that most coaching relationships adhere to:
*Students may connect with an Academic Coach at any point during the academic year, but are encouraged to begin at the start of the semester in order to benefit the most from this service.

Establish big picture goals or intentions for yourself (academic, personal, professional).
Implement concrete strategies or steps to better align your daily habits and activities with your goals and intentions.
Identify barriers (practical or personal) to achieving a goal, and problem-solve in advance.
Enhance your growth mindset and gain confidence in yourself and your abilities.
Identify habits that hinder personal or academic success and practice implementing new strategies or lifestyle habits.
