Course Wrappers

Course Wrappers provide students with a one-on-one coaching session with a learning support professional who is specifically trained to help students achieve their education goals and support their course success. During the session, students will complete one or more assessments to help identify their unique strengths, and identify an area of growth and development. All students will learn about the free college resources designed to help support students and their learning. At the conclusion of the session, students will complete a reflection and write a plan of action for their next term.
