Academic Advising

Advising and Academic Support offers help in choosing a major, planning a program of study, transferring courses, college orientation and much more.

Success Coaching

An academic Success Coach is invested in the success of students. Coaching is a working partnership that focuses on the process of learning to be organized, meet deadlines, prioritize projects, and manage time to reach goals. Like an athletic coach, we help students become “even better” in their academic and professional skills.

With a success coach, you can expect to explore your learning styles, habits of working, and current difficulties or barriers to success. We promise to:

  • Help you identify strengths and weaknesses
  • Assist you with academic and career goal setting
  • Develop your study and time management habits and other skills to ensure success
  • Connect you with other campus resources

Ready to meet with a Success Coach? Use our form to request to meet with a Success Coach. We'll respond within two business days.

Are you a faculty or staff member concerned about a student who is struggling academically? Use our Success Coach referral form to send an alert so we can offer targeted academic assistance to the student.

Testing Services

Testing Services  also administers the CIS 101 (Computers for Learning) Waiver exam and make-up tests for Missouri State-West Plains faculty.
