Workshops are led by Learning Centre instructors and staff. At the start of each term, Learning Centre Basics Workshops introduce essential study skills and helpful Learning Centre resources to support a strong start to the semester. Throughout the term, Skills for Academic Success workshops provide targeted study strategies to help students stay on track at key points in the semester.
*Please note that Learning Centre workshops are not recorded. If you are unable to attend the workshop but interested in learning more about the topic, please make a appointment with one of the tutors. You can also contact us in the Learning Centre via chat or by email, and we can direct you to resources on the topic.
