  • Peer success coaching is accredited by the Canadian Tutor Standards and is a great first step for students having difficulty with their studies. Peer Success Coaches are experienced upper-year undergraduate and graduate students. 

  • Learning support workshops take place throughout the first month of the term to help students prepare effectively to manage their time and complete university-level tests.

  • The SMART program offers a suite of self-paced, online micro-courses for students to dive deeper into time management, note-taking and self-advocacy. 

  • Quick tips and tools are a one-stop toolbox for how-to guides and self-help templates. 

  • Students with some university experience can review their progress and discover opportunities for growth with My Learning Skills Assessment
