This depends entirely on the student and their needs. Some students need significant support to structure and plan their semester at the start of each semester, but do well once a managed schedule is in place.

However, many students who struggle with time and academic management thrive with weekly or every-other-week meetings. This is especially true at the start of coaching, when habits that support executive functioning need to be established. Once new habits are in place and students learn skills in self-management, time management, and planning, they often can move to much less frequent meetings.

Some students experience tremendous academic overwhelm, despite doing well academically. This is often due to a need to develop skills in breaking down assignments into manageable parts, planning when to tackle each part, and learning how they work best (long stretches of hyperfocus or short, frequent work sessions with breaks). If this is the case, weekly meetings are recommended until new skills are established.
