Academic Coaching

Developmental Education Program

The Developmental Education Support Program is designed to provide comprehensive support for students to achieve academic success in their specific areas of need determined by the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA2). The program offers support through developmental education courses, co-enrollment courses, and academic coaching/advising to enhance the foundation of success and to build confidence in learning.

Developmental Education Support Purpose    

The Developmental Education Support Program equips students with the tools and confidence to excel in college-level coursework at Texas A&M University at Galveston. 

Prepare for College-Level Courses It prepares students for co-enrollment courses or for college-level courses by addressing specific academic needs.

Gap-Filling The ASCC support courses are led by faculty members in LIST and FSCI to assist students in filling the gaps in fundamental areas such as reading, writing, and math to ensure students have a solid foundation for success in their college courses.

Extra Support The program provides additional support through Academic and Peer Coaching tailored to individual student needs. 

Boosting Confidence and Readiness By addressing challenges early with added support, the program builds resilience and readiness to face other academic challenges throughout college. 

Connecting with Campus Resources It facilitates connections with campus resources through smaller community environments.
