Academic Coaching
This program was formerly referred to as “tutoring” and is provided to undergraduate students wanting and/or requiring additional support in coursework to enhance their success in the nursing program. The service offers both face-to-face and online tutorial resources to ensure 24/7 availability of material to the students. The program is coordinated with Course Managers to guarantee that the course calendar and course objectives are followed. Program information and coaching schedule is disseminated via electronic sites. Faculty may require that students “at-risk” in their respective courses seek academic coaching. This initiative was started in 2004 and is currently under the direction of the Center for Simulation. Students needing coaching in reading and writing may be referred to peer tutors and the university tutoring and learning center.
