Job Summary:
The GLOBAL Academic Success Coach serves students with intellectual disabilities enrolled in the GLOBAL Inclusive Certificate program through the duration of their academic journey at Regis University. The Coach, concerned with the well-being of the student, serves as students’ primary point of contact to help them maintain continuous enrollment, achieve academic success, thrive in the college environment, and persist through completion of the certificate program. As a GLOBAL Coach, they will determine strategies and tactics for advising for students with intellectual.

The GLOBAL Academic Success Coach role differs from that of a traditional academic advisor. While the role of an academic advisor focuses primarily on prescriptive advising prior to registration each semester, the coach’s primary objective focuses on developing a caring relationship with the student and positioning each student’s goals as central to success. The coach accomplishes this by engaging each student in a proactive relationship aimed at making the student one’s peer. This “holistic advising” approach transcends beyond prescriptive advising or developmental advising to a genuine mutual engagement in care for the whole person during her/his academic journey at Regis University.
