Academic Coaching

Meet one-on-one with an Academic Coach to work on optimizing your learning experience.

ARC academic coaching is an individualized, goal-oriented collaboration between an experienced coach and a student. With the support of an academic coach, students can identify and design more effective approaches to goal setting, time management, organization, resource utilization, communication, reading, note-taking, exam preparation, and more.

Why would a student meet with an academic coach?

To set goals that matter to them.
To get help with adjusting to college or graduate school.
To work on building better academic habits.
To sort out their schedules.
To find the resources they need.
To strategize around balancing the many different demands on their time (both work and fun).
To support their transition back to campus after a leave.
And many more reasons!
