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

Accountability Groups will begin the week of August 24th.

Fill out this form to join an Accountability Group. The form will ask you to log in to your Niner Google account. Drop-ins are still welcome to attend groups and will be admitted as long as there are seats available in the room.
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).
  • Students who miss two consecutive groups without first notifying their group leader will be removed from the group until they reach out to request to be readded.
  • Accountability Group Facilitators are responsible for structuring meetings, modeling productive behavior, sharing experiences, and guiding discussions.
  • Students will see event reminders on their Google Calendars. Group Facilitators will also reach out to send reminders about the group.
  • 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.
