Schedule a Coaching Appointment

Students like you recruit an Academic Coach for their support team at many different times in their academic career, such as when they are… 

  • Seeking more wellness and balance overall

  • Wanting to learn with less stress

  • Transitioning to OSU from high school, another university, or life outside academia 

  • Switching majors or adjusting to upper division courses 

  • Recovering from something unexpected

  • Choosing how to work towards goals

 

What to Expect from a Coaching Appointment

Academic Coaches are OSU students who are trained to support you in each 45-minute appointment.  When you come to Academic Coaching, you can expect to be welcomed, listened to, and recognized as a complex and unique person. Your coach will ask you questions and offer you resources to support your thinking. You’ll leave with the ideas from the session you want to act on and take with you.

What Students Say About Coaching

"It was really nice to review my current study system as well as the possible additions to that system that I have been considering recently - getting an outside opinion and being asked questions was helpful."

"It helped me look at the big picture of everything that I am struggling with when it comes to getting organized for classes and create a plan to address it and figure out what will work best for me to be successful at OSU."
