You can do it… we can help!
Whatever you’re aiming to achieve at WCC, your success coach can help you get there.
Success coaches provide holistic, personalized, one on one support to students throughout their first year at WCC.
New students are assigned a dedicated success coach based on their academic program.
Success coaches work with students from the time they enroll at WCC through the end of their first year.
Your success coach can:
- Help you navigate obstacles that might impede your success
- Connect you to campus services and resources
- Work with you to develop goals and be your accountability partner
- Provide academic pro-tips for maximizing your college experience
Meet with your Success Coach
Successful students take advantage of the resources available to them, and success coaching is one of the ways you can achieve more at WCC.
Your success coach is dedicated to your success and can meet with you as frequently as every two weeks.
You can meet with your coach in-person, over the phone, or email them with a quick question.
You can schedule meetings with your success coach through the WCC Gateway - Student Services Appointments

Understanding your Success Team
