Academic Coaching

To increase the chances of college success, students must be able to set goals, develop strategies to achieve those goals, manage their time, maintain motivation, stay organized and know the resources on campus. This list already sounds like a lot to handle, and it's not even complete! Fortunately, Student Success offers academic coaching which is designed to assist students with these broader aspects of college and help students make the most of their college experience.

About the Academic Coaches

Academic coaches are upperclassmen at Greenville College oftentimes majoring in psychology or social work. Regardless of their major, however, academic coaches show exemplary skills in many areas of academic achievement and are eager to help other students improve their skills in the broader areas of academics. Some areas coaches can assist students with include:

Time management
Goal setting
Organization
Establishing priorities
Motivation
Academic progress
Academic strategies/study tips
Student life
And much more!

Academic coaches can also assist incoming students with the transition from high school (or from a previous college) to Greenville College. With the help of a coach, new students can more easily navigate campus and meet other students, thus enhancing their college experience. Additionally, coaches can serve as accountability mentors for students.

Students Eligible to Meet with an Academic Coach

All Greenville College students are welcome to meet with a coach at no extra charge! Students wanting assistance in any of the areas mentioned above are encouraged to meet with a coach. Students wanting to simply ‘brush up’ on any of these skills or areas are encouraged to meet with one as well.

Scheduling a Meeting with an Academic Coach

The best way to schedule a meeting with an academic coach is to contact Student Success. You may email, call, or just stop by (see contact information below). Students are also welcome to 'drop in' to see an academic coach during coaching hours.
