Academic Counseling
As a ¿ì»îÁÖÐÔÏ¢ undergraduate student, you can work with an Academic Counselor/Learning Specialist to develop a personal system for managing time, tests, and texts. You can learn to employ and benefit from time management and organizational tools such as the Semester At a Glance calendar, the 24/7 Time Awareness grid, the Courses Chart, and the Finals Preparation plan. You can also learn about a variety of skills including note-taking, concentration, textbook reading, stress management, test anxiety management, memory, motivation and more. You can also just come in to talk with people who care about you and how you're doing as well as stay accountable to your academic goals.
Academic counseling is available in person and virtually all year.
