What is an Academic Success Coach?
About Us
Academic Success Coaches are responsible for ensuring that students receive persistent, proactive, individualized mentoring, academic coaching and support throughout their time at Lansing Community College. We believe in working with students to help them identify and utilize their strengths while empowering them to succeed at LCC and accomplish their academic goals.
What We Do
We meet with students! Students are encouraged to reach out to an Academic Success Coach; they may also be referred to us by instructors or other members of the LCC community. During our meetings we will learn about the students' experiences at LCC, identify obstacles that may be barriers to their academic success, and help strategize solutions and next-steps. Some of the topics discussed may include:
Skill Building
- Teaching new skills to students
- Time management, goal setting, course formats, D2L navigation, motivation, study skills, test preparation, study habits, learning formats, life coaching
Problem Solving
- Helping students solve existing problems
- Early Alerts, Admin Appeals (and other forms), SAP Appeals, Financial Aid issues, communicating with faculty, program information, Residency, Change of Program
Future Planning
- Talking to the student about future goals
- Discussion of educational and occupational goals, transferring, planning for future semesters
Campus Engagement

Progress Review
