Achieve works hard to find solutions for you
We believe that you, like all of our students, have your own special strengths and unique challenges. Our services are designed to meet your individual needs. Our one-on-one approach ensures that every one of our students receives the best support possible to maximize the potential for success every semester.
Case Management
Every student is assigned to a personal case manager. Case managers meet with you weekly to review your academic progress, discuss the support you need, and help you stay accountable.
Organization
We supply tools and teach strategies to improve organization, planning, prioritization of goals, and scheduling. We focus on building time and resource management skills with students.
Tutoring
Students can reserve time with our Academic Support Specialists for tutoring as needed. Students can meet in person or remotely. Academic support specialists are available to tutor for content and also to reinforce the organizational and managerial supports implemented by our case managers.
Please see tutors page for more information.
Learning Tools
- Reading: We provide assistance with text-to-speech software to help you read your textbooks.
- Writing: We encourage students to utilize speech-to-text voice dictation in writing software. We assist students with utilizing editing tools.
- Understanding Lectures: We encourage students to use transcription software for recording and notetaking, and teach them specific methods to organize their notes and materials from class.
Accommodations
All students in Achieve will also register with the Office for Access and Accommodations (OAA). The OAA will create an accommodations plan outlining the accommodations for which a student qualifies. To learn more about that process, please contact the Office for Access and Accommodations.
