Instructor & Staff Resources

The Academic Success Centre (ASC) provides support to help students achieve their academic goals through learner-focused programs and resources.  We support student success by promoting learning skill development through peer-to-peer engagement and opportunities for individual academic growth. The ASC aims to improve the academic experience for all students, regardless of their year, program, academic standing or whether they are on-campus, remote, or online.

We welcome the opportunity to work with instructors, TAs, and staff as partners to assist students along their academic journey.

Peer-Assisted Learning

The Academic Success Centre’s Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) is an academic support program based on the Supplemental Instruction (SI) model.  PAL is a non-remedial, course-integrated approach to learning that supports students’ academic success by combining “what to learn” with “how to learn.”  PAL consists of regularly scheduled, out-of-class group study sessions driven by students’ needs.  Sessions are facilitated by trained peer leaders who utilize active learning techniques and collaborative activities to foster peer-to-peer interaction in small groups. More information can be found in the PAL Instructor FAQs.

Instructors interested in PAL are encouraged to contact us for more information about participating in the program.
