Student Success Coach
A student success coach guides students in achieving academic and personal goals. They offer support, resources, and help overcome challenges. Services include goal setting, study skills development, academic support, resource referrals, progress monitoring, and student advocacy.
Academic Advising
Get to know your advisor; he or she is here to do more than just consult and prepare you. Advisors make up part of the team that will guide you through your time at the College for the best education and experience possible—so be sure to introduce yourself to your advisor as soon as possible. Students will be assigned to a faculty advisor that is a professor in their major. (You can find your assignment by visiting B.O.S.S.). It’s important that you make an appointment every quarter or any time you have questions.
Tech Online students, enrolled in the fully online Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies, can schedule an advising appointment.
