Learner's Assistance Centre

What is the Learners' Assistance Centre (LAC)?

The LAC's friendly staff offers free and confidential learning assistance to students enrolled in college/university courses. To access services, students can walk-in, be referred, make an appointment, or attend a workshop.

  • writing (including outlines, rough drafts and editing)
  • exploring student success strategies (skills for reading and understanding content, note taking, time management, preparing for and writing tests/exams, memory strategies)
  • preparing for oral presentations
  • basic math
  • succeeding with a disability
  • job search
  • and more...
Services also include computers for student use, resource books available (for loan ), basic Math and English reviews, test/exam supervision, handouts on math, writing, and study skills. The LAC staff provides small group and individualized tutoring along with workshops on specific topics.
