Support from day one.

Occasionally, college students encounter academic and personal obstacles that can feel overwhelming and derail their college plans. Academic Support can help as it is the go-to department for students. The office hosts award-winning academic development programs and coaching aimed at reducing barriers that can impact student success.

Academic Support Counselors

Academic Support Counselors (ASCs) provide services focused on building academic strategies for success for all ABAC students. Meeting with an ASC empowers students by helping them:

objectively identify barriers that impede academic success
improve time management and organizational skills
create attainable educational goals
develop and maintain positive daily routines
become an active learner
identify and utilize college support services and resources
take effective lecture notes
establish rapport and build relationships with professors

Students can also meet with an ASC for major exploration, secondary academic advising, and college policies (transient, add/drop, withdrawing, major changes, etc.). See below to get started and learn about a few of the programs and interventions within Academic Support.

The First-Year Learning Experience (FLEX) program is an individualized, proactive first-year experience focused on a productive academic mindset, identifying resources, and providing academic support. Open to all incoming first-year students, the FLEX program supports students through one-on-one bi-weekly meetings with an Academic Support Counselor. Interested?

AIM is a Student Success program that provides one-on-one academic coaching for students whose overall GPA drops below a 2.0 for the first time. The program requires students to meet regularly (weekly or bi-weekly) to develop an academic success plan that includes study/reading strategies, managing time, tutoring, and career development components.
