Individual Student Skills Assistance
Just like an athlete needs a coach to guide them in skill building, college students can benefit from study skills coaching at any time during their undergraduate experience. PASC professional staff will meet individually with students who wish to improve their study skills on a one-on-one basis.
In a one-on-one academic coaching session, you can develop an individualized plan for implementing practical, proven strategies resulting in better grades. Coaching assistance focuses on the following topics: obtaining college success, enhancing test taking skills, improving study habits, learning textbook reading tips, effective note taking in lectures, improving academic time management and motivation, developing course success strategies and referrals to other campus resources if needed.

PASC Study Groups
The PASC Peer-Led Study Group Program provides the opportunity for students enrolled in introductory courses to meet on a weekly basis with a group of peers to review course material, solve problems, and gain an understanding of course concepts. Study groups are led by peer tutors who have already successfully completed the course and are trained in facilitation techniques.
