How Student Success Coaches Help

New & Returning Students

Once you become a student at Aims, you are assigned a student success coach for your chosen pathway. Coach assignments are made according to your campus and declared major. 

As a new or returning student, your Coach will work with you to:

  • Explain various educational pathways
  • Confirm your academic and career goals
  • Identify classes that will meet those goals
  • Assist with the online registration process
  • Inform you of important campus and community resources helpful for your success

During these appointments, a Coach can assist you with the following:

  • Short-term and long-term goal setting
  • Developing an education plan that outlines your courses through graduation
  • Learning graduation requirements and other policies/procedures of Aims Community College
  • Monitoring and discussing your academic progress
  • Referring you to academic, career, financial, social, and wellness resources that may assist you
  • Discussing any concerns or obstacles you are facing during the semester and helping you get back on track
  • Connecting with a faculty mentor in your area of study, as well as leadership and experiential learning opportunities
  • Academic probation and suspension recovery
