Success Coaches/Academic Advising

The role of a Success Coach is important for a student’s success at Richland Community College. A Success Coach will serve as an advocate to help students form educational strategies and make the most of their time at Richland. Success Coaches will help students develop their goals, give advice on course selection each semester, and show students what information they can access on myRichland, among other tasks. As a result, students are assigned a Success Coach based in part on the academic program noted on their Admission Information Form. A student’s assigned coach’s contact information is found on myRichland > My Student Info > Academic Information. Most coaches’ offices are located within the Student Success Center, Room N117. Appointments or drop-in assistance is available at designated times. For more information about Success Coaching, students should contact 217.875.7211, Ext. 6267, or www.richland.edu/newstudents/student-success-center/studentsuccessteam/.
