Academic Coaching is a support service provided by Undergraduate Advising and Transition (UAT), a unit of the Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE). Academic Coaching helps students develop academic competence, confidence, and motivation to succeed at Georgia Tech.

Academic Coaching offers students the opportunity to work with professional staff to identify known challenges and co-create a personalized academic success plan through discovery, evidence-based strategies, and motivation. Students usually schedule a 45-60 minute meeting every two weeks or once a month, depending on the student's needs.

If you desire to work in partnership with an Academic Coach to address any of the following, consider scheduling an appointment:

Learn how to study effectively
Gain valuable test-taking skills
Design an individualized time management plan
Develop and implement SMART goals for the semester
Achieve and maintain a respectable GPA

Promoting a positive growth mindset
Creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for students to deepen their awareness of self-directed learning
Challenging students through specific, actionable steps to perform at their highest level
Facilitating a partnership that produces SMART goals to support a student's academic and personal development
