Academic Coaching Appointments
Our Academic Strategy and Writing coaches are here to help you compose and communicate your creative vision--to help you become a stronger learner and writer, but not to copyedit your work. To keep coaching widely accessible to all, CCA students may meet with coaches up to three times per week, working with the same coach only twice per week. Software Coaches have different specialties, so you might email them to see if they know the program you need help with ahead of time. Additional resources are available on the Student Resources and Graduate Student Resources sites. Got questions? Email the LRC Associate Director at LRC@CCA.EDU.
