Academic Coaching

Academic Coaches and Peer Academic Coaches are here to collaborate with students in order to help them set academic goals, increase their confidence in the classroom, provide useful tools for everyday life and connect them with campus resources that meet their individual needs.

What is a peer academic coach?

Peer Academic Coaches (PACs) are CU students who are trained to help their peers develop strategies for learning, time management, test-taking and much more. PACs also help students cultivate a sense of confidence and self-determination in their classrooms.

Peer Academic Coaching is a free resource for undergraduate students registered with Disability Services. Graduate students should connect with the Graduate School for grad-specific mentoring programs.

 Note: If your college has requested that you attend Academic Coaching, you should contact the coaching office specific to your college. Peer Academic Coaching at Disability Services does not meet individual college requirements for academic probation.

How it works

Students are assigned to a Peer Academic Coach (PAC) to meet for an initial session. During this session, students will work with their coach to discuss their goals for the semester, areas of strength and areas for improvement. After students complete their initial meeting, they will meet with their PAC on a regular basis to develop skills and review their progress.
