Academic Skills Assessment Program
The Academic Study Skills Assessment Program (ASAP) assists students with improving academic performance through assessment, short term coaching and referral. ASAP addresses a wide range of concerns with respect to study skills including time management, reading effectiveness, test taking, memory and comprehension.
ASAP workshops that focus on specific areas of interest are offered to groups of students throughout each academic quarter. These workshops are generally held at 4:00 on Friday afternoons in the South Lounge of the Reynolds Club. Students can sign up to attend on the SCS website.
ASAP is housed in the Student Counseling Service (SCS) at 5737 South University Avenue. Individual appointments can be made by calling (773) 702-9800. We are available Monday–Friday: 8:30am–5:00pm. For more information contact Anne Brody, PsyD at afbrody@uchicago.edu.
