Academic coaches at ETBU work with students to help hold them accountable for all things academics. Our coaches help students develop study skills, good study habits, and continually assess the current academic status of our students. Coaches also help advise students with course scheduling, changing majors, and overall academic development. Academic coaching typically takes place once a week, with students working with the same academic coach throughout the semester (and, oftentimes, over the course of several semesters). Academic coaches discuss a student's current grades, attendance, and missing assignments during each session, and help students in setting up contact with instructors/professors when needed.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is in-person only.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

All students at ETBU are assigned an academic advisor in their field of study. Students must meet with this faculty member in order to register for classes each semester - students do not register for classes on their own. This process helps our advisors work with students to ensure all degree requirements are met as well as help them plan for future semesters. The one-on-one approach also allows our advisors to keep a direct line of communication with students, helping them navigate not only their degree requirements but also their academic career, including discussions on changing majors or adding/dropping classes within a semester.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program has a hybrid format or has both online and in-person components.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

In support of ETB's mission to holistically develop students, we have initiated a mentoring program called Thrive to cultivate student success through intentional, one-on-one, and small-group mentoring. Thrive prepares students to flourish intellectually, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. New, on-campus, undergraduate students have the opportunity to be paired with a peer mentor (upperclassman) during their first semester at the University. In addition, upperclassmen may join a small group with an assigned faculty/staff mentor for each academic year.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is in-person only.
PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)
