"Students who work with a Coach throughout the application and enrollment process at Northeastern are more personally connected with the university and more prepared to succeed when they begin school." --Jane Samuels, InsideTrack Coach

Have a great college experience

InsideTrack Coaching helps adult students have a rich and fulfilling college experience. Coaches work with students to envision what they want out of college, assess their fit with the university, and prepare to succeed when school begins. As a result, coached students who chose to enroll are more committed to the university, and are more engaged when they start school.

Prepare for academic and career success

Coaching enables students to take a step back and develop a vision for where they want to be at graduation and beyond. Working with their Coach, students develop an academic plan that includes internships, personal objectives, and academic goals. Coaches triage with other student services to ensure that students are getting specialized support and taking steps to make their goals a reality.

Be the best at all you do

Adult students often juggle a full-time job, family commitments and financial challenges in addition to a demanding academic load. InsideTrack Coaching motivates students to consistently use key tools that will take their time management, budgeting and other life skills to the next level - enabling them to be more effective in college and beyond.

Be healthy and happy

InsideTrack looks holistically at student success, monitoring and helping students set goals around physical fitness, healthy eating habits and stress management. Coaches also refer students who are struggling with adjustment issues to the right resources, ensuring that students are fully supported as they transition back to college.

Tools and resources

InsideTrack leverages a suite of online tools to track student progress and keep coaches and students connected. These tools include RightTrack, our proprietary goal achievement software for students, as well as Facebook, 43things and more. We also provide a number of exercises for students to help them vision their lives, master life skills, and stay on track.

A proven methodology

InsideTrack's coaching methodology is based student engagement research developed by Sanford, Rendon, Astin, Tinto, Gardner, and Kuh. We integrated their insights into a robust methodology which has been refined over the past decade with more than 250,000 students. In addition, our Advisory Board consists of experts in higher education who provide ongoing insight into how we can better serve students.

A unique differentiator

InsideTrack Coaching differentiates the university by providing enhanced student support both during the enrollment process and throughout the first semester. Coaching makes students feel like "a name, not a number" - and this often has a significant impact on students' overall satisfaction.
