The Student Service Centre (The Centre) is a new department on campus that will integrate a number of student services to address students’ perception of getting the “run around” on campus.
The creation and launch of The Centre is part of the Vibrant Student Experience strategic theme, and is a partnership between Graduate Studies & Post Doctoral Affairs, Registrar’s Office, and the Student Success Office, as well as involvement from Student Financial Services.
This presentation provides background on the series of projects formed for the creation and launch of the Centre, talks about scope and timeline, and explains some basic concepts of how The Centre is expected to work with front line Specialists and subject matter experts within the core departments.
