Accountability Groups are designed to help Auburn students strengthen peer connections, practice effective learning strategies, and dedicate meaningful time to academic work. These groups meet for 90 minutes, once per week for the academic semester, and are led by a peer educator who facilitates focused study time, body doubling, and skill-building in a supportive, non-remedial environment.

Accountability Groups are structured to make the most of your time:

• Check-in (10 minutes): Welcome and set a positive tone for the meeting.

• Set & Share Goals (10 minutes): Members share learning, homework, or other academic goals.

• Focus (60 minutes): Engage in independent study with accountability, while trying new strategies.

• Reflect (10 minutes): Celebrate accomplishments, review what went well, and navigate challenges together.

• Beginning with positive energy

• Consistency and engagement

• Respect for ground rules and group members

• Celebrating progress while addressing questions

Throughout the semester, members will strengthen skills and strategies related to:

• Academic goal-setting and follow-through

• Time and workload management

• Concentration and memory strategies

• Test preparation and test-taking

• Note taking, textbook reading, and presentation prep

• Communicating with campus professionals

• Navigating the college environment

• Wellness and balance
