Academic Success Coaches can:

  • Provide personalized guidance and coaching to help students achieve their educational, personal, and professional goals.
  • Help students clarify their interests, strengths, and aspirations, and connect these to their academic and career paths.
  • Offer support in selecting appropriate courses for their major and/or minor while aligning choices with long-term goals.
  • Share valuable discipline-specific insights and connect students with faculty and professional networks in their field.
  • Equip students with strategies for time management, study skills, goal setting, and overcoming obstacles.
  • Connect students to campus and community resources that promote academic success and overall well-being.
  • Assist students in navigating academic challenges and developing plans to recover from setbacks.
  • Release the automatic advising hold placed on student records each term before registration, ensuring students are ready to enroll on time.
  • Answer questions about academic progress, such as course withdrawals, degree program requirements, changing majors, and more — while supporting broader personal and career development.

  • Students should connect with their Academic Success Coach any time they have questions or concerns about their academic progress.
  • Students interested in declaring or changing a major or minor should also meet with their coach to discuss options and implications.
  • Regardless of major, all students are required to meet with their Academic Success Coach before each registration period to review their plans and release any advising holds.
  • If you are thinking about withdrawing from or dropping a course, your coach can help you understand the potential impacts on your degree progression and financial aid, and explore alternative strategies.
  • Your Academic Success Coach is here to support you — whether you have questions about academics, personal goals, or career planning. You can make an appointment or simply email us anytime!

  • Go to Make an Appointment and follow the instructions to schedule a meeting with your Academic Success Coach.

  • Students who are off campus or enrolled in fully online programs receive academic coaching and advising by email or virtually using Zoom.
  • After the session, the Academic Success Coach will send a follow-up email summarizing the conversation and outlining the recommended courses for the upcoming semester. Students are asked to reply to this email to confirm they have received and reviewed their academic plan.

  • The Major Change Form can be accessed online in under Student Records/Forms.
    • Note: The Major Change Form is only for currently enrolled students. New incoming students should use the Application Change Form, located in My91¾«Æ· under Student Records/Admissions
  • Once you are logged into My91¾«Æ·:
    • Click on the Student link in the left navigation menu.
    • Under the Student Records tab you will see a link to Forms, then select Major Change Form.
    • The form can be completed and submitted online.

Recommendation: We strongly encourage students to schedule an appointment with the Academic Success Coach for their new major before submitting the form. This ensures that the courses you have already completed or are currently enrolled in will apply effectively toward your new program.

Dropping a class means the course will not appear on your official record, and you will not earn a grade or incur a financial penalty. Dropping a course is only allowed during the designated add/drop period.

Withdrawing from a course, however, means the course will remain on your record, and you will receive a grade of either Withdraw Pass (WP) or Withdraw Fail (WF) depending on the timing of your withdrawal.

We strongly encourage you to consult the academic calendar to confirm whether you are in the drop or withdrawal period. Because a withdrawal results in a grade and you remain financially responsible for the course, it is important to discuss your plans with your Academic Success Coach and check with Financial Aid/Veterans Affairs before making any changes.

DegreeWorks is 91¾«Æ·â€™s official degree audit tool, available 24/7 through your My91¾«Æ· portal.

DegreeWorks shows you all the courses required for your major, which courses you have already completed, and what you still need to finish in order to graduate.
