Academic Coaching, Workshops and Resources

Academic Resources

Academic resources are designed to help students build and develop critical academic skills. If you have ever wanted to sharpen your study skills, or make a better plan to manage your time, these programs and documents would be a good investment! Each resource is designed to give you something to walk away with- a study plan, a self-diagnosis, a learning assessment, and more. All resources are created by staff and trained students who have shown the ability to preserve and be successful at UNF.
