Academic Support 

The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) defines academic coaching as an advising approach that helps students set and pursue goals, interests and passions. The primary focus is helping students achieve academic success so that they persist towards graduation.

MSS’ goal in offering academic coaching is to help The Citadel do its best to retain students currently at-risk of not meeting The Citadel’s minimum GPA of 2.0 for continuance.

During an initial coaching session, we’ll review the pre-coaching questionnaire you filled out. From there we’ll pinpoint areas you’re struggling with such as study habits, notetaking, goal setting and time management and identify strategies for improvement. Moving forward, the focus of each appointment will be different based on the specific issues you would like to discuss.

You can prepare for your meeting by scheduling an appointment in WCOnline, completing MSS’ pre-coaching questionnaire and reviewing DegreeWorks.

Of course! Just send an email to kgaillia@citadel.edu to make an appointment.

The purpose of the mentoring program is to foster a culture that connects cadets and alumni mentors through a framework of encouraging productive conversations around academic, professional, and life goals; empowers alumni mentors to engage students in critical thinking that is reflective and strategic; and rejuvenates communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills for alumni mentors.

AAAMP officially launched in 2017.
