About Accountability Groups

Accountability groups help Auburn students build friendships, learn new study skills, and set aside real time for schoolwork. Each group meets once a week for 90 minutes during the semester. A peer educator leads the group and guides focused study time, body doubling, and skill-building in a friendly, low-pressure space.

Scheduling & Attendance
Service Hours

Accountability Group sessions for the fall 2026 semester will be held from August 31 to December 4. We schedule meeting times based on peer educator and student member availability. To join, complete the membership request survey, and we will invite you on a first-come, first-serve basis. Groups stay open until they are full, and a waitlisted student may join later if a spot opens up. Regular attendance matters, so please come to every meeting you can.

If you cannot attend, cancel at least 24 hours in advance through Advise & Assist, or call our office at 334-844-5972 during business hours.
