Academic Success Coaching

What is Academic Success Coaching?

Academic success coaching at USF refers to a collaborative and personalized approach to helping students achieve their academic and personal goals. An academic success coach helps students develop skills and habits that contribute to college success, including goal setting, time management, learning strategies, and self-advocacy. Through ongoing support, the coach helps students build resilience and a connection between education and their lives.
