Student Success Coach
The Student Success Coach (SSC) offers personalized support and guidance to help students reach their academic, personal, and career goals. Your designated SSC can assist you in overcoming challenges and in connecting with resources that enhance your college experience. The SSC acts as a mentor and advocate, collaborating with faculty, student services, and other campus resources to support your success.
Academic Advising
An academic advisor supports students in selecting courses that align with their educational goals, degree requirements, and personal interests. They can also help develop a balanced and strategic academic plan to keep students on track for a timely graduation. Students will be assigned to a faculty advisor or professor in their major. It is vital to schedule an advising appointment every quarter, or whenever questions or concerns arise.
Tech Online students, enrolled in the fully online Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies, can schedule an advising appointment with your assigned advisor.
