Learning Skills services are designed to help you, when faced with academic challenges, to develop the study strategies you need to reach your full learning potential. A variety of workshops are offered throughout the year for a nominal fee. In addition, a limited number of individual appointments are available with our staff in order to address your specific needs. Many students seek help with specific concerns about relationships, self-confidence, weight preoccupation, loneliness, stress, sexuality, academic difficulties, etc. Others bring less clearly defined problems such as low motivation or a feeling that things just are not right.
Individual counselling is typically short-term, averaging three to five sessions.
Group programs vary and are based on student interest. If something is bothering you and it is interfering with your studies, there is someone who can help. Just call or drop in to set up an appointment. A limited number of evening appointments can be arranged for students. A special needs student is any student who is academically inconvenienced because of a physical, medical, mental health or learning disability.
