Are you taking classes in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics?

If so, Commit to Study (C2S) can provide you with the opportunity to work on your time management and study skills with your own personal peer mentor (an undergrad, just like you who is trained to help you reach your full potential).

Everyone can benefit from Commit to Study (C2S)!

If you are doing well at SacState, you’ll learn how to fine-tune your study skills to be more efficient and earn A's in less time. 
If you’re struggling in any classes, you’ll learn to leverage your strengths and identify areas for growth. 
Completing the C2S program also looks great on resumes or scholarship applications.

Important information about C2S 1-on1 peer mentoring during COVID

• C2S requires 2 virutal appointments. You'll be given a Zoom link once you schedule your appointment.
• During your first appointment, lasting 1 hour, you will:
• Discuss the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) which covers topics such as time management, anxiety, motivation, and test strategies.
• Select 2-3 LASSI worksheets on areas that you want to work on before your next appointment.
• Develop a concrete plan for improvement using strategies discussed with your peer mentor.
• Set SMART goals (watch video and complete worksheet) so that you and your peer mentor will have a marker for measuring success.
• During your 30-minute follow-up appointment, you’ll reflect on the impact of the completed LASSI worksheets and decide whether there is a need to set up additional appointments.
• We can provide proof to your professors that you have complete our program.
