Academic Advising
Every student is assigned a dedicated advisor called a Student Coach upon registration, for the duration of their degree completion. The Student Coach will act as your primary support contact throughout your academic journey while attending Bellevue University. Coaches provide multiple integrated coaching services encompassing goal setting and time management techniques, referral to academic support services, as well as navigating academic and financial processes.
Bellevue professors and coaches have been nothing short of amazing. They understand that life happens outside of school, but will push you to be your best.
The academic advisor I had, Amanda, was amazing. She was always very responsive and would even help me set up all my classes. I would highly recommend Bellevue to complete your education goals.
Your Student Coach Will:
- Be an accessible resource to help you set goals and persist through your academic plan.
- Assist with career and major exploration options.
- Clarify Bellevue University policies, procedures, and academic catalog information.
