Academic coaching is a comprehensive service for students who want to improve their academic and self-management skills, such as time management, organization and study skills. The Learning Commons (LC) offers this support to help students achieve their academic goals along with self-advocacy and independent, life-long learning. The content and structure of each individual coaching session is determined collaboratively by the student and the coach to identify the student’s unique learning strengths, develop individual plans for academic support, and promote self-confidence and independence.<\/p>\n
