The Academic Success Coaching program offers a holistic view of student success and academic intervention. The Academic Success Coach is a model for effective organization, time management, study skills, and executive functioning. ASCs are also responsible for imparting a feeling of ownership and a sense of agency over one’s academic journey so that the client is better equipped to navigate their university experience. The Academic Success Coaching program is positioned in a way that can bring all of the components of the Academic Resource Center together in a comprehensive way.
While Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction focus on content-specific obstacles, and how best to navigate them, the Academic Success Coach is there to help the student identify the obstacles in the first place. The role complements yet differs from their Tutoring and Supplemental Instruction counterparts in that it offers a more wrap-around support system for students focusing on the determination and solutions to academic obstacles.
Appointments are available in person or virtually. With questions, please contact the Assistant Director of the Academic Resource Center at 714-966-5452, email academicsuccess@vanguard.edu, or visit the Academic Resource Center located in Smith 110.
