Success Coaching – Syllabi Statement & Spring Workshop Series

Dear Campus,

Congratulations on another successful and exciting quarter! We would like to thank you for the collaboration experienced in supporting students and their success. We look forward to continuing to partner with you! 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 statement below and information regarding our spring workshops.

Success Coaching: Syllabi Statement

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