I didn't have to study in high school; university is different.

Sound familiar? Peer Success Coaches have been there too.

Our Peer Success Coaches are upper-year undergraduate and graduate students from different faculties who can teach you key foundational study skills and strategies for academic success.

It's normal to need support with:

  • Managing multiple competing deadlines
  • Staying on top of readings
  • Juggling different demands from school, work and life
  • Preparing for higher-level exams 

Ways we can help

 

Talk to someone one-on-one

Meet with a Peer Success Coach one-on-one to create your plan for academic success.

A Peer Success Coach appointment is an opportunity for you to:

  • Learn about various academic resources and learning strategies:
    • Time management
    • Note taking
    • Reading skills
    • Study strategies
    • Exam preparation
  • Reflect on your academic goals
  • Identify your learning style
  • Develop a personalized action plan
 

Appointments are available in-person at the Student Success Office or online over Microsoft Teams

At the end of your appointment, you can book a follow-up appointment with your coach or get connected to another campus resource.
