Writing and Learning Centre
The Academic Success Centre served as an umbrella for two services. We're sunsetting that name. Your academic support services are now:
- Accessibility & Accommodations
- Writing and Learning Centre
Nothing changes about the services you receive. Just clearer names to help you find the support you need. If you're currently receiving services, your support continues without interruption.
Support at every stage of your studies.
Whether you're working on an assignment, preparing for exams, or tackling a thesis, we're here to help. Our team of professional specialists and peer tutors offers workshops and personalized support with academic writing, study skills, time management, and more. Our appointments and workshops are free for current U of A students.
