One of the requirements of the Academic Recovery Process for students on Academic Alert or first Probation is that you meet with your UCA Peer Success Coach. Our coaches are available to help you identify challenges you’ve had in past semesters, and find ways to improve your academic standing.
Peer Success Coaches are UCA students who have had training in time management skills, study methods, note-taking skills, and test-taking strategies. They’re also familiar with the academic policies concerning alert, probation, and suspension, as well as the support services and resources you may need to improve your academic standing. Finally, our coaches are supportive and approachable, and they want to help.
