What is a peer academic coach?

A Peer Academic Coach (PAC) is either an undergraduate student or a graduate student who has been academically successful at Florida Atlantic University. Either way, Peer Academic Coaches are available to offer student-to-student, FAU specific tips and advice on how to be successful here.

They understand that success in college isn’t limited to having good study skills (though they can coach you on those), but is also about feeling connected to campus, being able to make ends meet, finding the right balance between work and your classes, etc.  You can meet with a Peer Academic Coach regularly throughout the semester, or stop in one-time with a question.
