Student Success Centre

The Student Success Centre (SSC) is a space where a sense of community has taken its natural place among students, staff, faculty, and our Elders. It is this sense of community that allows all students the ability to experience a wraparound support that comes with the demands of Post-Secondary education. With our 'any learner, anywhere' learner-centred approach and environment, we offer a designated space for students to access. 

• Computers, 
• Staff and tutors
• A safe space to work/study
• A space to grab something hot to drink
• Or a snack to get you through the day

In addition to these we also offer

• In person or online one-on-one or group tutoring
• Wellness support or referrals
• Academic skill development
• Planning and facilitating accommodations
• And a space to share and celebrate your achievements 

And with great pleasure we invite you to join our Learning Commons Team where we collectively host various workshops and events.

• Workshops that help student acquire effective learning and study skills, including; time management, reading textbooks, learning from lectures, note taking, exam preparation, and writing etc.
• Events that will be sure to inspire you both personally and/or academically.
