ACADEMIC COACHING AND
PEER MENTORING
Academic coaching and peer mentoring are tailored, one-on-one experiences that assist students in setting and achieving personal and academic goals. Both services are free for students! An academic coach is a full-time, professional staff member within the CAS. You can expect to meet with an academic coach three to four times a semester; however, more meetings may be requested. Your academic coach can help with the following: • Setting goals and task/time management skills • Identifying challenges and barriers to success • Providing academic study skills and strategies • Referring students to additional campus resources A peer mentor is an upperclassman who works within the CAS. Our peer mentoring program received an international certification through the College Reading and Learning Association. This means our peer mentors have gone through a rigorous selection and training process to best help you! Students can meet with a peer mentor up to once a week starting the second week of each semester. Your peer mentor can help with the following:
• Helping with the transition from high school to college • Setting goals • Connecting you to additional campus resources
