Counsellors can help you develop decision-making skills, improve your study skills and motivation, and manage stress. Various group programs may be offered at some colleges based on student interest. Most colleges have a Career Information Centre which contains a wealth of information on subjects such as careers, educational institutions, job prospects, personal development and financial planning. Some counselling centres also allow electronic access to the Student Aid system so that students can inquire as to the status of their student loan application. Some colleges have a library and audio-visual centre offering books, magazines, pamphlets, video and audio tapes, films, filmstrips and other resource materials specifically chosen to help you in your studies, as well as provide access to the Internet.
Some student councils employ a coordinator of athletics and recreation.
Recreational gym periods, intramural and inter-collegiate competitions, and other activities are generally available. In addition, various clubs and committees are organized by students each year. Each student council or association collects compulsory, non-refundable student activity fees prior to, or during, student registration. These fees are used for assorted student activities and services and are administered by the student council or association. Some colleges have health professionals available on a part-time basis to offer appropriate health services according to the needs of the student population.
