The UCAE’s Accountability Groups offer structured individual work time by facilitating a small group environment that encourages community, where peer leaders model effective and transferable academic strategies.

Accountability Groups meet weekly for 75 minutes throughout the semester and are facilitated by student leaders. The purpose is to:

  • Provide dedicated, structured work time
  • Increase productivity through goal setting and follow-ups
  • Foster community and peer support
  • Share resources and strategies for academic success
  • Model effective academic techniques that are transferable beyond the group setting

To join a group, complete the Google Form at this link. The form will ask you to log in to your Google account.
Be sure to arrive on time. Students arriving more than five minutes late may not be admitted.

Accountability Group Expectations

  • To make the most of Accountability Groups, students should plan to attend at the same time each week.
  • Students are asked to arrive on time for the group they schedule and stay for the entire duration (75 minutes).
  • If students are routinely late, leave early, or do not let their group facilitator know if they cannot attend, they may be removed from the group to make room for additional students to join.
  • Accountability Group Facilitators are in charge of structuring meetings, modeling productive behavior, sharing experiences, and guiding discussions.
  • Students will see event reminders on their Google Calendars. Group Facilitators may also reach out through UNC Charlotte email to send reminders about group or if they have essential information.
  • Cell phones can both promote productivity and also be distracting. Members are encouraged to minimize phone usage during meetings. Individual groups will set further expectations around phone usage during individual work time.
