Accountability Groups
Are you struggling with motivation and accountability? Tired of studying alone? Studying or working on homework can sometimes feel isolating and may lead to reduced productivity or procrastination. Join us and help hold each other accountable so we can all have a successful semester!
What Are Accountability Groups
Accountability Groups offer ongoing support to undergraduate students in a group setting to help you strengthen your study skills and stay motivated to achieve your goals.
- Consistent, Dedicated Time: Groups will meet one time per week for 1.5 hours in the ASC
- Peer Connection and Support: Groups will have 6-8 assigned students
- Facilitated Strategy Development: Groups will be led by an ASC staff member
Group Times for Fall 2022

We will be sure to send you any updates and announcements about the Accountability Groups program in the future.
Join Our Contact List"Executive Functioning Skills Development" Accountability Group
The Executive Functioning Skills Development group will be led through a partnership between the Disability Resource Center and the Academic Success Center. This group is for students with ADHD, depression, PTSD, autism, and other disabilities impacting their executive functioning (planning, organization, initiating tasks, time management, motivation, etc.). Like the general accountability groups, there will be significant time dedicated to independent study and work time. This group differentiates itself from the general accountability groups because:
- The facilitated strategy development will be intentionally tailored for students with executive functioning-related disabilities to support them in navigating through the unique challenges they experience.
- The peer-to-peer support offered in this group will provide students with the opportunity to build community with peers experiencing similar challenges.
Please note: Students are not required to be registered with the Disability Resource Center to participate in this group. Students with all disabilities are welcome to sign up for any of the accountability groups.
What to Expect
Joining an Accountability Group will help you learn and implement time management and study strategies, connect you with peers, and provide a dedicated time to work on individual tasks. Together, you can learn from one another, including sharing strategies, celebrating each other's accomplishments, and supporting one another when you experience challenges.
Your group will have an assigned time to meet for 90 minutes each week. Group members are expected to attend each week to help contribute to the group's overall success. The first portion of the group meeting will be dedicated to checking in with one another and learning about a new learning strategy or topic. The remaining time will be designated work time for everyone to work on their individual tasks and assignments. Groups will wrap-up their meeting with a quick check-in to see how things went.
