Peer Academic Coaching: Unbridled Ambition. Be Bold. Make Waves.

When you hear these FAU phrases, do you believe they describe your student(s)? WE DO! University Advising Services (UAS) is excited to spotlight our Peer Academic Coaching program at FAU. Their mission is to support the academic and personal transition of students through individualized coaching. https://www.fau.edu/academicsuccess/peer-academic-coaching/ The Peer Academic Coaching program is a part of our larger ACCESS Coaching Center located in the SU-80 Building (Student Support Services), Suite 227. PACs are available to offer student-to-student, FAU-specific tips and advice on how to be academically successful. Students can meet with a Peer Academic Coach regularly throughout the semester or ask questions during one single meeting. Students can meet with a PAC in person or virtually. PACs can also refer students to essential campus resources, such as UAS, especially since registration for Spring 2022 begins the week of November 1st. Please see the “Advising Notice” on the UAS homepage: https://www.fau.edu/uas/. Please encourage your student to drop by the office or go to the following website to make an appointment with a PAC. https://www.fau.edu/academicsuccess/peer-academic-coaching/meet-the-coaches/. As always, thank you for what you do!   Marsha Saddler, ACCESS Academic Coach/Advisor University Advising Services Liaison to Families (561) 297-6845
