Academic Support Programs

Academic Success Coaching

Through a series of one-on-one appointments, you can work with a coach to get from where you are now academically to where you want to be, and create a foundation for success in college. Coaching focuses on the overall academic experience instead of individual subjects. It is not academic advising, personal counseling, a disciplinary meeting, or individual tutoring.

Get started

Begin by meeting with one of our coaches. Academic Success Coaches are available to meet in-person in Mary Gates Hall 274 or virtual through Zoom. Each appointment will be thirty minutes long. Any student can meet with an coach including incoming first year students. 

Schedule an appointment

Academic Success Coaching is currently closed for winter break and will reopen on Mon. Jan. 6th. Please check back for updated winter quarter availability. Email aspcoach@uw.edu with any questions.

What can I expect a coaching session to look like?

Every coaching session is personalized for you and depends on what you want to talk with an Academic Success Coach about. Coaches typically try to get to know you and what your current strategies for balancing your academics are.
