Unified Academic Coaching Model

Our students come to CSU with the expectation that we will help to prepare them to be successful when they go out into the world. It is our job to provide our students with infinite support and opportunity to earn success.

Starting in Fall 2024, CSU will begin the transition to a new Academic Coaching Model as part of a strategic effort to advance student success and improve retention and graduation rates ¨C key components of the university¡¯s strategic commitment of expanding the scale, scope, and integration of student mentoring, advising, and coaching to prepare students to join the workforce and our pursuit of preeminence. And to review, revise, and optimize use of all tools deployed to monitor student persistence and academic progress.

CSU¡¯s current Advisors and Graduation Success Coaches, Faculty Senate, Academic Steering, Dean¡¯s Council, and Cabinet Members are key to this model¡¯s implementation and success. As part of these changes, we will be prioritizing the Unified Academic Coaching Model and investing in our current employees to boost purpose, morale, and retention, and in recognition of their incredible commitment to our students and their outcomes.
