College Persistence Program
The transition to college can be challenging, and many students struggle to adjust to the academic demands and expectations. Adopting best practices regarding executive functioning and healthy study skills, our advisors work 1:1 with Novella College Persistence students to create a structured and strategic approach to learning, increase their skills and independence, provide accountability, and gain confidence in their ability to navigate and thrive in a university setting. We provide peace of mind for families knowing that the student has consistent check-ins, encouragement, and coaching to ensure academic success.
What is College Persistence?
Individualized Academic Coaching
Novella College Persistence is staffed by advisors who care for each learner and bring unique insight into college success. Our program is led by experienced higher education professionals who understand the unique challenges of college and have a proven track record of helping students succeed.
Time management and organization play a critical role in a student’s academic success. Novella Prep advisors focus on honing executive functioning and study skills while also taking a holistic approach to tap into mindfulness and career readiness.
How it Works
Students work closely with an advisor who guides them toward academic success, with individualized coaching that extends across key areas of their college journey.
Academic Planning
Our patented program lays the foundation for a student’s academic journey, preparing them with essential study skills, thoughtful course selections, and a clear path forward. We provide organization and planning strategies that span entire academic terms while also focusing on the details of weekly and daily routines. Students receive guidance on choosing majors and minors that align with their goals, along with a personalized course-by-course success plan designed to maximize achievement at every step.
Weekly Accountability
We ensure students remain on track with their academic goals by integrating weekly accountability into our program. Through regular one-on-one check-ins, we monitor student activity, study habits, and assignment deadlines to keep progress consistent. A time management audit helps students optimize their schedules, while ongoing grade monitoring allows for timely interventions whenever challenges arise, ensuring steady improvement throughout the academic term.
Student Success
Our definition of student success extends beyond academics, emphasizing overall growth and development. We coach students on how to make the most of university resources and build meaningful relationships with faculty, while also guiding them through both short and long-term goal-setting in academics, career planning, and personal wellness. In addition, we provide support in exploring extracurricular opportunities and summer planning, helping students create a well-rounded and fulfilling college experience.
