Achieving the Promise Academy
Achieve Your Academic Goals
The Achieving the Promise Academy is MC’s academic coaching program, created to ensure every student has the assistance, opportunities, and tools needed to succeed in college. No matter where you are on your academic journey, our Academic Coaches can help you build on your strengths and target areas for improvement so you can excel academically and achieve your full potential.
Participating in academic coaching has been shown to help students build their confidence, pass their classes, improve their grades, save money, and stay on track to graduate or transfer on time—and it's free and open to any student registered for courses at MC.

Coaching for Course Success
