The CLT is located in the Bennett building on campus. Programme staff and associates are available and encouraged to teach sessional courses. Through their teaching, staff and associates have successfully introduced hundreds of students to the fields of housing, planning, community development, environmental issues, small business, and public administration. Many students have gone on to pursue graduate work or professional employment in these fields. The Programme also provides opportunity for students to engage in independent study for credit, offers support to faculty engaged in research, and links numerous local activities and people with students for a variety of complementary objectives.
Abilities are often disparate, with striking contrasts between abilities and levels of achievement.
A learning disability is a hidden disability which affects the academic, personal, and vocational lives of the student. The Meighen Centre for Learning Assistance and Research provides academic assistance to Mount Allison students who have been professionally assessed and found to have a learning disability. This assistance includes academic counselling, learning strategies instruction, peer tutoring, consultation, access to text books on audio tape, and arrangements for special accommodations for writing tests and examinations when appropriate. The number of students receiving services from the Centre has grown significantly in recent years, indicating both a distinct student need and the programme's success. Students receiving assistance from the Centre have graduated from all faculties of the University.
