Student Support

Aspire remains committed to the physical and emotional health and well-being of our students. If you feel overwhelmed at any time, or a personal problem arises, you can speak to our Student Services staff who can help and guide you in finding appropriate help.

Aspire offers a wide variety of support services for students. The Student Success Centre (SSC) is open Monday to Friday every week of the trimester and has programs in place to support not only academic learning but also your wellness.

The Academic Learning Advisors on all campuses will help you develop your academic skills and prepare you for the cultural change to tertiary student life. Take advantage of the support in areas such as: elective study techniques, note-taking skills, report and essay writing skills, referencing and citing, exam preparation, study techniques, writing skills, oral presentations, numeracy support, learning support for students with a disability, and Studiosity, which offers a 24/7 online academic support.

The SSC also runs a peer Assisted Learning Service (PALS). This is a student-driven program where high performing students volunteer to assist others in specific areas of their studies.
