- Learn to make a study schedule
- Strengthen your personal motivation
We offer personalized meetings, study groups for specific science courses and skill development workshops to help you improve your academic performance and your student experience.To book an individual appointment (virtually), please send a request
We also have mental health training and can point you to the resources that are available for you.
“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.” – John C. Crosby (1859–1943), American politician
Study Groups
Need some extra help with your Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics course?
Student Academic Success Services (SASS), in collaboration with the Faculty of Science, is offering free study groups for students registered in the courses mentioned below.
These study groups will closely reflect the material learned in class each week and will give you an opportunity to work through problems that resemble evaluations and assignments.
A student mentor will lead the online study groups. Join the appropriate study group on the Academic GPS.
Hope to see you there.
