Academic Peer Coaching
Get Started on the Road to Success!Glad to be back at school? Did you decide that this semester was going to be different? Is it? Do you want to ensure that your chances of success are greater than last semester?
The Learning Centre has academic Peer Coaches for your personal support. While this is available to any student it is strongly recommended if your GPA is below 2. Participation is voluntary and the program is free.
