  Assignments are based on the student's academic program of study.
  
  
• How long is my advisor with me?
  You will have your academic and professional advisor thorughout your duration at ASUN. Your academic advisor will be updated with any changes in your academic program.

Role of Student Success Coaches

ASU-Newport Student Success Coaches intentionally spend time building rapport and trust with their advisees. Success Coaches will learn about each advisee’s strengths, skills, and abilities. Success Coaches will encourage and challenge students to dream about their future and then co-create a plan to help students achieve their goals. During this entire process, advisors are committed to maintaining an appropriate level of confidentiality as required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Processes advisors may assist students with include: degree and career exploration, designing an academic plan, registering for courses, supplying information on transfer options and/or employment opportunities, and providing information on student services such as tutoring.
