Support Mission

The mission of the Academic Support Center is to:

1. Empower students to develop effective strategies for learning
2. Help students discover learning styles to enhance academic success
3. Assist students in transitioning to the requirements of college
4. Support students in setting educational, personal, and professional goals

Being in college can feel overwhelming, and it’s important to have an objective coach help you define what your goals are and how you’re going to reach them. Our Student Success coaches can help you understand what sort of learner you are, so you can take on study habits that work for your style. We can help you take a step away from the busyness of college and life to help you better see what you need to set yourself up for the best possible outcome.

You’ll be assigned a coach the first day you’re a student at Kettering College, and that same coach will work alongside you as you graduate and seek employment. The skills you’ll learn with your coach can help you build foundational habits that will carry over into all aspects of your life.

Our Mission:
The Student Success Coaching program seeks to engage with all students to develop the necessary skills and tools to create a thriving experience at Kettering College. We embrace each student’s culture, values, and lived experiences while holistically supporting each student’s whole person, body, mind, and spirit.

Our Purpose:
The Student Success Coaching program at Kettering College is designed to help navigate college, learn time management and study strategies, and achieve a balance between personal and professional obligations. The coaching program also aims to track student progress at a granular level, alerting and addressing potential barriers that would lead to program progression issues.
