Students will self-schedule appointments using the criteria shown below. This service is a more tailored experience for the student. 

Academic Coaches are goal-based. Students develop a plan with a coach to help them with their personal skill development versus specific course content. Academic Coaches are ideal for students with previous IEPs, learning differences, anxiety, high-stress situations at home, need an accountability partner, or who do not have much experience being a student. The six goals the coaches work toward are time and task prioritization, reading comprehension, organization, critical thinking and problem-solving, support for learning differences, and strengthening academic skills. The students will choose their goals initially, and the coach will assess if an additional or different goal is needed. All coaching sessions start with the initial session plus three additional pre-scheduled sessions. The coach and student will discuss the need for another three sessions at the end of the original plan. The process is repeated until the intended goals are achieved. 

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

• Our students must understand they will not encounter a SNHU instructor in our coaching sessions. Coaching sessions are designed to improve student's soft skills and differ from peer tutor sessions focusing on course content.  

Below is an example of the scheduling process a student will use to schedule an Academic Coach that fits their needs. This process is linked through the Pre-Scheduled Support > Academic Coaching option in the drop-down menu highlighted in gold below.
