Academic Coaching
During the academic year, Office of Academic Support staff can help you develop an individualized plan to build skills, improve study habits, access resources, and achieve academic success. Staff members are available to discuss a wide variety of skills required by ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó's curriculum.
Moreover, students can engage with Academic Skills tutors who have undergone training and draw from their own experiences as students to offer valuable insights and strategies for enhancing time management, organizational skills, and prioritization techniques.
(Please note that coaching is different from counseling. Visit the Health and Counseling Center's for more information about counseling services at ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó.)
