As a Durham Tech student, you have access to a wide array of resources to promote your success. If you are experiencing any academic, personal, or career concerns, your Success Coach is here to be your personal advocate and to listen to your concerns and provide support.

Success Coaches partner with students by providing guidance along their pathway to academic, professional, and personal success. Your coach will support you with academic and career planning, financial aid, and transfer policies. Your coach can also connect you to resources such as childcare support, transportation assistance, technology and internet support, tutoring, etc.
