Success Coaching – Syllabus Statement

Hello from Success Coaching!

We hope that you have had a great Winter Quarter and look forward to continuing to partner with you throughout Spring Quarter. We’d like to introduce you to our newest Success Coach, Carrie Bayless. Carrie will be coaching students one-on-one and will also be focusing on completion. As a team, we look forward to continuing to meet with students and support them towards their goals, identify and address barriers, and connect them to resources. Let us know if you have any questions and we look forward to continuing to partner with you this quarter!

Faculty have requested a statement about Success Coaching to be provided on their syllabi and we thank you for this opportunity! Please feel free to use the following statement:

Similar to coaching programs used by entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals, Shoreline Community College provides students with Success Coaching to help you develop and grow your academic skills. Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that works with you on study strategies, goal planning, time management, balancing life’s priorities, focus, motivation, and organization. Coaches also help you identify and connect to other resources. Coaching is not counseling, advising, or tutoring.

Thank you,
The Success Coaching Team

Tuition Assistance for Professional Technical Students

If you think you may know a student who qualifies for tuition assistance, please let them know about our resources at Workforce Education. There are many ways students can qualify for tuition assistance through Workforce Education.

Students can qualify if they meet ONE of the following criteria.

    • Is the student starting, or in, a professional/technical program?
    • Has the student received unemployment insurance in the past four years?
    • Is the student being laid off or formerly self-employed, need to retrain?
    • Has the student recently lost a spouse who was helping to support you?
    • Did the student become a veteran in the past four years?
