Coaching

One-on-one Academic Coaching is available by appointment in the Learning Commons (virtual appointments on Zoom are available as well.) Walk-in appointments are also an option on a first-come, first-serve basis. In these sessions, our wonderful coaches will work individually with students to identify academic areas of concern and create an action plan for success in a collaborative manner. These plans typically include strategies that target a variety of areas including:

  • time management and organization
  • effective reading and note-taking of course materials
  • study skills
  • strengthening communication with faculty
  • how to proactively process feedback on work
  • finding research tools
  • referrals to additional helpful resources on campus

Our coaches are warm, collaborative and eager to help students.

    • If you are meeting with a coach for time management support:
      • please bring your laptop or a written planner
      • please bring copies of, or make sure you can access, course syllabi
    • For note-taking or reading support sessions with your coach please bring, or ensure you have access to, the readings for which you need assistance in these areas.
    • Please Note: academic coaches are not responsible for ensuring that you do your homework. The time spent with a coach should be utilized to work on a specific study skill or time management, and should not be used to get homework done.
    • If you unexpectedly need to change your in-person session to a zoom session please email your coach directly.
    • If you need to cancel a coaching session please do so at least 24 hours before your session. You can reschedule through the same booking site.
    • Thank you for your cooperation!
