Academic Success Coaching Program

The Academic Success Coaching Program (ASP) is an academic coaching program for first and second year, Pell-eligible students of color. The program was established in Fall 2019 under the Division of Diversity & Innovation, in collaboration with the Division of Academic Affairs. The program was created to address California State University’s ambitious Graduation Initiative 2025, to increase graduation rates for all CSU students while eliminating opportunity and achievement gaps.

Some of the biggest equity gaps in 6-year graduation rates that exist at San Diego State University are for Pell-eligible students who are Pacific Islander, Native American, Latinx, and Black. The Academic Success Program was created to provide academic case management and targeted interventions for these specific student populations to foster their academic success at SDSU.

Mission Statement:

Our program empowers students to achieve academic, personal, and professional success through comprehensive coaching services, financial assistance for basic needs, and workshops designed to develop the whole student.
