The Academic Success Centre is a partner in helping students achieve their goals with on-demand and integrated academic support. We cultivate academic success at every step of the student journey from their transition into the academic environment to graduation.

Langara Student Success Course (LSSC)

The LSSC is a Brightspace course that prepares students for academic life at Langara and introduces them to key supports available on campus and online. Through the LSSC, students learn about college expectations, tools and strategies for studies, and organizational and time management skills.

 

 

Writing Centre

Peer and faculty writing tutors provide free online and in-person help with writing and citation for written assignments in any course. They can help with any part of the writing process including brainstorming and thesis development. Sessions are 1-on-1 appointments and students are encouraged to book in advance.

Langara Return to Learning Course (LRTL) 

Students who have struggled and find themselves on academic suspension are invited to enroll in the LRTL to fast-track their return to academic study. Offered in collaboration with Counselling, Enrolment Services, and Langara Global, the course engages students in reflection and teaches students effective academic and learning strategies.

 

 

Subject Tutoring

Subject tutors in the Writing and Tutoring Centre assist students with understanding and applying concepts learned in their courses. It is free to all Langara students, and all sessions are offered as group drop-ins. The scope of support differs among subjects.

Peer Supported Learning (PSL)

PSL is an academic support program that provides informal study sessions led by senior students who have taken the class previously. As peer support facilitators, these students sit in the class to observe, become a peer, provide model student behaviour, and facilitate study sessions outside of class.
