Academic Coaching Positions

The LAC is currently accepting applications for Coaching positions for Spring Semester. Graduate and Undergraduate applications are welcome.

Academic Coaches are selected from among the most accomplished of UC students. They come from colleges across the university and are ready to aid students with a variety of majors. Coaches meet with UC students to determine student strengths and weaknesses in academic settings. Coaches are then responsible for preparing individualized responses, exercises, and references to address student needs during paid preparation periods.
