Academic Counseling

What is Academic Counseling?

Academic Counseling is an assistance program that helps students acquire more effective and efficient study skills. Student Academic Counselors (ACs) conduct group workshops and individual sessions that focus on skills such as:

  • Textbook reading
  • Lecture note-taking
  • Time management
  • Exam preparation
  • and other skills

The Academic Counseling program is designed to help both:

  • students who are having academic difficulty
  • students who just want to improve their study skills

Study Skills Workshops

Study Skills workshops provide help throughout the semester and focus on selected study strategies such as:

  • Time Management
  • Exam Prep
  • Procrastination
  • Stress Management

Individual Appointments

Individual appointments with an Academic Counselor (AC) are available to students who need more intensive help with study skills than a single workshop can provide.

Students seeking individual appointments will complete a study skills survey that evaluates current study strategies. A student AC will then be assigned to meet with them on a weekly basis to target the skill areas that need improvement.

To request an individual appointment with a student Academic Counselor, contact the Academic Development office at 412-268-6878.
