Referring Students to Learning Services
Our staff and Peer Helpers provide individual or small-group assistance for undergraduates on a wide range of learning, studying, and self-management issues. Please note that our services are not remedial — they are developmental. We emphasize the enhancement and application of existing skills, and adapting learning approaches to specific disciplines or tasks. For first-year students, we focus on the transition from high school to university-level learning. Students use our services to improve their academic performance, enhance their time- and self-management skills, and increase their effectiveness, productivity, and enjoyment of learning. We provide assistance with:
- time and workload planning
- managing procrastination and perfectionism
- critical/close reading
- learning/study strategies for specific disciplines
- academic presentation skills
- exam preparation and exam writing skills, including multiple choice
- concentration or motivation issues.
If you encounter students that could benefit from support in these or related areas, please refer them to Learning Services for a consultation. All forms of individual and small-group assistance are free and confidential.
Please note that stress management is addressed by two other units on campus — the Stress Management and High Performance Clinic and Counselling Services.
