Peer Academic Consulting

The Tutoring and Testing Center offers Peer Academic Consulting (PAC), a personalized service to enhance your academic success. During sessions, you'll meet one-on-one with a consultant to address your specific needs and goals, giving you an edge in the classroom and beyond.

Peer Academic Consultants are not academic advisers. Advising creates degree-required course plans, while PAC supports those plans with detailed academic success goals. We focus on the "nitty-gritty" of your academics to ensure you meet your expectations. We recommend both advising and coaching for a comprehensive plan.

In any given PAC session, students can expect to work on one or more of the following areas:

• organization 
• goal-setting
• school-life balance
• test-taking strategies
• connecting with resources
• study skills 
• time management
• motivation/growth mindset
