Academic Coaching Program

Why You Need This Plan: Students are required to participate in the Academic Coaching Program because one or more of the following applies to their current admission status:

• Conditional Admittance: Student was conditionally admitted and needs to maintain a TAMU-CC GPA of 2.0 or higher in their first 30 hours. A CN hold is placed on their account, blocking registration, and will be lifted once program requirements are met.
• Academic Standing: Students with a GPA below 2.0 that are placed on Scholastic Probation, Scholastic Probation 2, Suspension 1, or Suspension 2. They must follow credit hour restrictions and complete this program to regain good standing. An SP hold is placed on their account, blocking registration, and will be lifted once program requirements are met.
• Academic Reinstatement: Students granted reinstatement by the Scholastic Standing Appeals & Reinstatement Committee for Academic Suspension I, Academic Suspension II, or Academic Dismissal.

Academic Success Coaching Sessions are meetings with assigned professional staff. During the first meeting with an Academic Success Coach, students will discuss the factors that required them to be in the Academic Coaching Program and identify areas for a success plan. For the best results, it is recommended that you:

1. Prep before your session - Give some thought to what obstacles you might face, your primary concerns, and what you hope to accomplish during your coaching session.

2. Be an active participant - It may be helpful to bring your calendar and class materials, such as, notes or syllabi, to the session.

* You can expect various Academic Coaching meeting format options, including in-person, Zoom, and phone.

Peer Coaching Sessions are meetings with undergraduate students carefully selected and trained to work with students in the Academic Coaching Program. They provide educational assistance and resources so fellow students can better grasp, boost academic performance, and enhance their well-being.
