Success Coaching
What is success coaching?
Your success coach is your go-to person on ACC’s campus. They can help you transition to being a college student, setting goals, connect to resources and learn about effective time management and learning strategies. If your success coach doesn’t have the answer to your question, they can help you get connected with the right person! Together, you and your coach will focus on the strengths and passions that bring you to Alamance Community College – through mentorship, student involvement, faculty interaction, and more.
There are four programs at ACC that include success coaching. Read more about each one below. Not sure which one applies to you? Log in to Watermark: Student Success & Engagement (formerly Aviso) to view your assigned Success Coach! You can also download the Watermark Student Mobile App!
