Academic Coaching
Do you wish you knew the "hidden curriculum" to excel at the U of A, like time management and study strategies, understanding faculty expectations and campus culture, finding your voice and place on campus, etc.?
Academic Coaching works with you to build skills and self-advocacy by co-creating a success plan that considers your life experiences, academic goals, and long-term professional aspirations.
Coaching is free and available to all Engineering students. Most students seeking coaching attend 2-4 meetings per semester to maximize their academic success and persistence to graduation.
