Accountability Groups

Accountability Groups

Are you easily distracted when working alone? Do you have a hard time finding 60 minutes to focus on your homework or essays? Join us and we can work together to hold each other accountable and share encouragement this semester!

What are Accountability Groups?


  • Community – a small group of 6-8 students that meets weekly for 80 minutes
  • Collaboration – work together to set goals and share study strategies
  • Support – SSC staff and fellow group members will practice productive study habits and encourage each other along the way

What to Expect


Students will meet at their designated time each week, set goals for themselves, and discuss academic success skills. During each 80-minute session, students will set a goal, work independently to achieve their goal for 60 minutes of focused time, and then share progress with the rest of the group. This is effective for students who are easily distracted when working on their own or students who need 60 minutes of head-down focus time to write a paper, work homework problems, or read their textbook without interruption.
