How to Succeed

What Can a Peer Coach Help You With?

  • Setting and achieving academic goals
  • Developing time management and organizational skills
  • Improving study habits and test preparation techniques
  • Enhancing motivation and accountability
  • Navigating challenges and overcoming obstacles in your studies

Why Choose Peer Coaching?

Peer Coaches understand the student experience because they’ve been there themselves. They provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space to share your challenges and create actionable plans for improvement.

Review your course expectations and make a plan of the term requirement. The key point is to review and assess so you are on track and prepared for the term.

Hybrid classes are not all structured the same way. You need to review your syllabi and plan for your time at least until your first exams. 

How to Get Started

  • Sign Up: Visit the ASC website.
  • Schedule a Session: Select a time that works best for you. Sessions are available virtually and in-person.
  • Prepare for Success: Come to your session ready to discuss your goals and challenges.

The Individualized Academic Success Plan will help you create a calendar. Include due dates, scheduled exams, and any required activities for all courses. Keep track of everything—you don't want any surprises. Add D2L class time, reading, working on assignments and group projects. Don't forget library time, homework, and study/review time.

Maintain Focus

Distractions are everywhere! And no, you can't multitask effectively.

Develop a routine. A good routine includes breaks and stop points as well as goals and tasks. The Study Cycle is 60 minutes for a reason. This stuff works. When you are "in class" try to ignore email, television, video games and so on.

Availability
Peer Coaching sessions are available weekdays on both campuses to accommodate your schedule.
