Peer Academic Coaches (PAC) work with you individually on the general academic skills that can help you
be successful in any class. This includes topics such as:
• Time management
• Note-taking
• Final exam preparation
A PAC can provide guidance on how to navigate college success strategies like figuring out when
assignments are due or creating an effective study plan for your general education class. PACs are ready
to meet with students and assist in the unique ways each student requires.
PACs are available for follow up appointments as well in case students want to try a strategy and check
back in on their progress. PACs also offer workshops on these topics.

Yes! All Academic Skills services with PACs including appointments, drop-ins, and workshops are always completely free!  

To view Peer Academic Coaching drop-in hours, please see the Drop-in Tutoring Schedule. You can join an online drop-in session from the Online services page. You can also meet with a PAC in person in the Bartlett Academic Success Center by checking in at the Front Desk on the 2nd floor and asking to meet with a PAC.

Please start with a drop-in session! Our PACs are happy to meet you in-person at BASC or via Zoom. Please see the Drop-in Schedule for available times.

PACs will spend a little time getting to know you and what brought you in to see them and then start discussing possible strategies. If you are seeking general guidance, please come prepared with an open mind to talk over strategies with PAC. If you have a specific need, please come prepared with planners, assignments, laptops, syllabi, or any other concrete examples related to the topics you want to discuss. You are welcome to schedule a follow up appointment to check in on your progress!
