Counseling
The role of the TECHniques counselors is to assist students in their academic success through individualized services and structures. Continuous communication between students, parents, faculty, tutors, TECHniques counselors, staff, and other involved Texas Tech departments is imperative in providing individual TECHniques students with the support and assistance they need to be successful.
Support from Staff:
Accountability and guidance in using strategies for academic success
Academic and career advising
Guidance for co-curricular involvement
Referrals to campus resources and services
Regular communication with tutors, parents, faculty, and staff
Academic Monitoring
Throughout each semester, TECHniques counselors maintain contact with students' faculty. Students are strongly encouraged to have regular, individual contact with their faculty as they have questions about the course. TECHniques Academic Progress Reports are sent to all faculty during weeks 5, 8, and 12 of the fall/spring semesters.
Faculty are asked to estimate the student's current grade in the class, as well as rate the student's class participation, attitude, and study habits. Faculty also are asked for the number of class absences and incomplete assignments, as well any suggestions for improvement. This information is shown to individual students and provides an opportunity for discussion on progress in classes and any suggestions for improvements.
To keep parents informed about their student's academic progress, a similar report will be e-mailed or mailed to parents about the academic progress of their student. Parents are welcome to follow-up with an e-mail or phone call to their student's TECHniques counselor with any questions.
