Student Success

CHS is committed to fostering academic achievement and persistence through personalized support services tailored to address students’ individual needs—both in person and online. The department offers a range of resources including subject-specific tutoring, academic coaching, writing support services, and access to simulation labs that reinforce learning through hands-on practice. Services are tailored to help students develop effective study strategies, strengthen content mastery, and build confidence in their academic journey. Whether on campus or virtual, CHS’ Student Success Center provides holistic, accessible support to empower every student to thrive.

 

Academic Coaching

Students at CHS may request free, individual academic coaching appointments designed to help you overcome possible success barriers or take your academic performance to the next level. Potential topics include time management, exam preparation, study skills, communicating with faculty, and addressing your specific concerns. Alongside your coach, you will develop strategies to help you become a more effective student. Academic coaching can help you:

  • Plan ahead and balance coursework
  • Think strategically about how to achieve goals
  • Find new ways to study that fit your learning style

Students can make an appointment for academic coaching using the Navigate360 app, or the Navigate Appointment Scheduler. 

 

Tutoring

The College of Health Science offers free, appointment-based tutoring to support students taking courses in Calabasas or online. Appointment slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Depending on tutor availability, students may be enrolled in either a small-group or individual tutoring session.

While every effort will be made to accommodate students’ needs, tutoring cannot be guaranteed for all courses. As an alternative, students are encouraged to utilize faculty office hours for additional academic support.

 

Tutoring Policies and Procedures:

  • A minimum of three (3) days’ notice is required to schedule any tutoring session. No late requests will be considered.
  • While we will do our best to accommodate your preferences, tutor availability is not guaranteed.
  • Tutoring sessions will not be scheduled during your CHS class or lab times.
  • You will receive an email and text confirmation from Navigate once your tutoring session has been scheduled. At that point, the session is considered confirmed.
  • To cancel a tutoring session, you must email chs.studentsuccess@pepperdine.edu at least 24 hours in advance of the session start time.
  • Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be considered a late cancel.

Students who accumulate more than two (2) late cancels or no-shows per semester will no longer be eligible to request additional tutoring sessions.
