Free academic coaching and support available to students
Could you use help managing your schedule, staying on top of assignments, or simply navigating college? Contact the ARC to set up academic coaching.
Academic coaching involves regular meetings for support and accountability. A student meets regularly – usually 25 to 50 minutes a week – with an ARC Consultant or Academic Success Coach to review syllabi, discuss weekly and semester schedules, and talk through strategies for success.
Meetings might include time on a class FoxTALE site to ensure the student is aware of assignments that are due, or the Academic Coach might work with the student to determine how to take effective notes and then how to use them. A weekly check-in enables a student to look at the big picture of all that is on one’s plate – multiple classes, work, relationships, other involvements, etc. Coaches build supportive relationships with students as they work together to develop strategies for personal and academic success.
