Academic Success Coaching
Every learner at Southwestern College Professional Studies is assigned an academic success coach (ASC), who will be your support throughout your academic program. Your ASC plays a critical role in the your educational journey, serving as your supporter, interpreter and guide while working toward degree completion.
You can expect your coach to:
- Understand and effectively communicate SCPS’s policies and procedures in relation to curriculum, enrollment and graduation requirements
- Encourage and guide you to establish realistic goals and accept responsibility for your educational success
- Support you in the venture of life-long learning, by communicating the purpose of higher education and how higher education impacts lives
- Support SCPS in providing you, the non-traditional learner, educational opportunities that allow for full-time employment and life commitments
- Monitor and provide accurate interpretation (degree plans) of your academic progress
- Initiate and maintain open communication with you via telephone, e-mail, live chats and other such communication devices
- Maintain confidentiality
