What is Academic Coaching?

Academic Coaching is a personalized partnership designed to support students in meeting their academic goals. You and your coach work together to develop realistic and workable plans to achieve your vision of success in college. Coaching is short-term, provided year-round, free service for enrolled students at Auburn University. Schedule your appointment through the Advise Assist “Click to Schedule” link on the Make an Appointment page. Appointments are hosted in 2234 Haley Center with online options available for intakes and continuing coach sessions.

Academic Coaches empower students to improve in areas such as:

  • academic workload management & goal-setting

  • concentration & memory strategies

  • note taking & textbook reading

  • online learning

  • test preparation & test-taking

  • navigating the college experience

The Academic Coaching program in Academic Support is certified by CRLA’s International Peer Educator Training Program Certification (IPTPC) at Level III. Auburn students work one-on-one with a trained peer educator academic coach to explore habits, interests, skills, concerns, intentions through this goal driven process. Every Auburn student who attends coaching will meet with a coach who participates in this recognized training.
