Academic Coaching

NEW! All CSU Students! January of 2025 marked the transition of Academic Advising to the NEW Academic Coaching Model approach to supporting YOUR success in and outside of the classroom. You and your assigned Academic Coach will work together from start to finish! You both will establish your academic goals and create your academic path to ensure your success from orientation to graduation. 

The CSU Academic Coach is a vital partner in a student's educational journey. Committed to student success, Academic Coaches create a supportive learning environment. They provide easy access to essential programs and services and actively work to remove barriers to enrollment and academic progress. By offering personalized guidance and encouragement, Academic Coaches empower students to set and pursue ambitious goals confidently. This partnership facilitates timely graduation and opens doors to meaningful career opportunities, shaping a brighter future for every student.
