Telang Academic Achievement Program
Engineering is hard, and every student’s path looks different. The Telang Academic Achievement Program (TAAP) offers individualized academic, personal and career development support for second- and third-year engineering students who want additional accountability and community during their time at Cockrell.
TAAP Into Success
Whether you’re adjusting to advanced coursework, balancing a demanding schedule or looking for strategies to improve academically, the program connects you with trained Peer Academic Coaches and resources designed to help you succeed.
Through TAAP, students have access to one-on-one coaching and check-ins, study support and campus resources to navigate the challenges of engineering school while staying focused on academic and professional goals.
The program is specifically designed for Cockrell School students at different stages of the engineering journey and encourages asking questions, seeking guidance and supporting one another.
TAAP Participants have access to:
- Individual academic coaching
- Study and time-management support
- Peer study sessions and workshops
