Student to Student Academic Coaching Mini-Course (Peer Mentoring and Coaching)

Student to Student Academic Coaching (01:090:227) is a 1-credit pass/fail "mini" course that counts towards graduation, offered in either the first or second 7 weeks of the Spring semester. Research has shown that academic coaching helps students prioritize and plan their studies and overcome barriers to their academic success.  This academic coaching mini-course is led by junior and senior students who have taught the RU-FIT International Student Transition course as Peer Leaders and who have received additional training to become Academic Peer Coaches.  Class sessions consist of small groups of six students or fewer enabling Academic Peer Coaches to address student's individual academic strengths, needs and challenges and provide customized support and guidance.
