what is involved?

We provide monthly one-on-one academic counseling to students who are referred to our office for academic support. We work with students to evaluate and improve their learning styles, study and testing strategies, and time management skills during our meetings.

We are here to

Stand by to support and make sure the transition period goes smoothly for the student.
Keep the student informed of academic resources and important policies.
Set up realistic goals and develop a study habit that helps boost up the student’s grades.
Provide each student with academic and emotional support.
Direct students to resources that can make the academic pursuit effective.

A step-by-step program

Academic contract

We will help the student set up realistic goals for the new semester.

Bi-weekly or monthly meetings

We meet periodically with the student to make sure things are going smoothly. When a student keeps his or her commitment to academic counseling, he or she stays informed with resources, school policies, and important deadlines.

Confidentiality

The discussions about a student’s academic progress are confidential.

Directing resources

We direct a student to the resources (tutoring services, placement exams, scholarships, loans, change majors, etc.) he or she needs.

Easy planning

We assess a student’s academic progress and project how his or her effort will reflect on academic performance. Planning can be easier!

Follow-up and support

We are here to support the student academically and emotionally.
