Academic Skills Consultations

Academic Skills Consultants (ASCs) are peer educators who specialize in helping students develop the tools for success in college. ASCs work with students on topics such as time management, test preparation, note-taking, and reading. These consultants are selected based on overall academic success and their desire to help others develop individualized systems that work. ASCs are available for one-on-one sessions.

For one-on-one sessions, students will:

• Identify effective learning strategies
• Determine habits that need changing
• Discuss different strategies for improvement
• Have access to handouts and resources
