Academic Coaching and Education Standards (ACES) advances students' academic success and maintains the standards outlined in Policy 611. Through evidence-based coaching methods, we teach students to become active and independent learners through cultivating self-awareness, developing skills, and utilizing resources. 

 

We provide a consistent, one-on-one partnership where students can substantially refine their academic strategies and habits, while also learning approaches to manage school/life balance. Our coaching model encourages taking action toward goals and cultivated insight while recognizing students as naturally creative, resourceful, and whole experts of their own lives.

Note:

UVU’s Academic Coaching & Educational Standards office (ACES) is committed to texting students on individual personalized outreach, for time-sensitive updates, and/or in instances where an individual’s immediate action is required/requested.

ACES promises to not spam students with information that might be better communicated over email, phone call, or other communication platforms. You are encouraged to routinely update your mobile number and texting preferences on your myUVU portal. Students can also opt-out of text-messages at any time by replying "STOP" to any unwanted communications.

Here at ACES we want to respect our students’ preferred methods of communication, but we also want to ensure the communication is received, read, and responded to in an appropriate way.
