    Student Success

    WE STICK TOGETHER

    We have an inclusive community of students from diverse backgrounds, and we encourage you to discover the many student groups and organizations like:

    • First Peoples’ House
    • International Student Services
    • Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services (iSMSS)
    • Peer Support Centre
    • Campus Food Bank
    • Leadership Education and Development Centre
    • Sustain SU

    HELP IS HERE WHEN YOU NEED IT

    Petting dogs, studying at treadmill desks, and light-therapy lamps are just a few ways we provide holistic health on campus.

    We also have more traditional resources for all students like:

    • Access to support and resources for your mental health and wellbeing
    • Counselling and Clinical Services
    • Campus and Community Recreation
    • University Health Centre and Pharmacy

    ACADEMICALLY AHEAD

    With supports like the Academic Success Centre, the Centre for Writers, or Decima Robinson Support Centre (math and statistics support), you are assured to achieve your academic goals. Here are just a few more of the supports available:

    • Academic skills development
    • Academic accommodations support
    • Presentation and speaking skills workshops

    So the advice I would give to students who feel alone or don't know where to turn at the University of Alberta is there's so much support that is readily available for you. I was really apprehensive and scared to ask for support. But the one thing that I've learned was like asking isn't a sign of weakness. It's just you doing what's best for yourself.

    Here at my time at the University of Alberta, I think one of the most important roles and people I came across was academic advising. When I first got to campus as a first year, I was pretty overwhelmed. There's so many cool opportunities and unique paths I could take. And I didn't know which one was best for me and my career goals. So being able to sit down with someone, who knew everything that I could take, and really explain where I wanted to go with my life and have them, you know, guide me down the correct path was really important for feeling like I got my footing here.

    My best advice for U of A students, or someone who wants to come to U of A is just take advantage of all the resources. I have been in the Career Centers, Student Success Center, Peer Support Center, Counseling Services, and all of them have built me in different areas of my life. Academically, the Student Success Center, help me manage my time better, and counseling, it helped me with my personal life and build stronger relationships in Edmonton and make me feel like I'm home. Peer Support Center, gave me someone to talk to when I need. If you're considering coming to the U of A, don't think twice. I'm pretty sure you won't regret it, for me has been a very fulfilling experience.
