Getting Help

Academic Help

Problems with a specific course? First try the Course Instructor- office hours are best. Are there tutorials or a drop-in help room (eg. Study Hall, Math Help)? Utilize them. Form study groups with others in the course. Need a tutor? SOS Peer Tutors offer free help. If you want your own personal paid tutor check out the centralized Study Hub. Is writing lab reports or essays a challenge? Contact the Bethune Writing Centre or the LAPS Writing Centre.

Problems with your major? Talk to a faculty member you trust; go to more senior students in your major; go to the departmental office to talk to the staff (they know a lot) or ask for an appointment with the undergraduate programme director. They may give you options you hadn't thought of:

Problems Studying? The study skills required for university go beyond what is needed for high-school. Cramming just before a test doesn't cut it- you need to be proactive, and on top of it all the time. Form study groups. Attend Learning Skills Workshops, either through the Wednesday Workshops at Bethune or elsewhere on campus. Use the online academic success resources. Contact others who can help:
