Successful transition into higher education is considered crucial both for the student as well as for the educational institution. This transition may become a stressful period for many freshman students, while they have to deal with a number of serious challenges, such as the need for developing novel learning patterns and also the adaptation of the already existing learning strategies in the new academic environment. Students show difficulties in academic adjustment that mainly are due to ineffective learning strategies and unsatisfactory self-regulation. Also, students have a difficulty to understand the difference between studying at University and studying at an upper secondary school or the demands of the university level teaching-learning environment.

In line with the need for further exploration of the relations underlying the above variables to enhance students learning, this project aims to develop an on-line diagnostic tool/platform that comprises cognitive/learning and psychological constructs contributing to students’ psycho-educational profiles and academic success. According to their scores, students will be given feedback followed by guidance and coaching guidelines will be available to teachers on demand.
