Academic Coaching

The Academic Coaching Program (ACP) is a fee-based support program at Hofstra University designed to help students strengthen their academic and study skills. ACP is structured to provide short-term (on average one or two semesters)  individualized support from a learning specialist and focuses on building effective strategies that promote academic success, independence, and self-awareness as learners.

ACP is open to all Hofstra students, and no disability or documentation is required. Enrollment in ACP is offered on a semester-by-semester basis and is subject to availability.

Students enrolled in ACP receive up to 60 minutes of individualized coaching per week, based on need. Sessions are personalized and focus on academic and study skills such as learning style awareness, effective study methods, time management, organization, test preparation, and goal setting. Students work with a learning specialist for a single semester or continue for additional semesters, depending on their needs and program availability.

ACP coaching sessions are provided by professional learning specialists with experience supporting college students in developing academic skills and effective learning strategies. Services are delivered by professional staff rather than graduate assistants.

The ACP fee includes:

• Up to 60 minutes of individualized academic coaching per week
• A weekly action plan
• Access to SAS workshops

For the 2025–2026 cohort, the ACP fee is $3,000 per semester. Fees are subject to change for future cohorts.
