ACADEMIC COACHING
sponsored by Academic Support
Academic coaching is available by appointment during the Fall and Spring semesters to assist students with the academic skills necessary to be successful at a major research institution such as Auburn University. Each student is assessed regarding his/her academic skills and emotional/psychological well-being by a Licensed Professional Counselor. Based on the assessment, a student may be referred to other resources on campus or in the community. If a student is assigned to an academic coach, the student and his/her coach will develop an individualized improvement plan, which also may include referrals to other resources on campus. Academic coaching is short-term, free and available to every Auburn University undergraduate student.
Please note: Academic Support is now charging for missed appointments.
Academic coaching focuses on academic skills such as:
- Academic goal setting
- Setting a study schedule
- Time management as it relates to academic tasks
- Use of support techniques, materials, and resources
- Textbook reading
- Selecting main ideas and recognizing important information
- Self-testing, reviewing, and preparing for class
- Test-taking strategies and preparing for tests
Students who are experiencing more long-term issues and difficulties, including but not limited to: major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, learning disabilities, abusive relationships, suicidal ideation, and other difficulties that cannot be resolved through the problem-solving model will be referred to other resources for assistance. There may or may not be a cost associated with those services.
