7 Ways Our Services Can Help You Succeed!
You may not know or have realized that there are a whole lot of services available to you as a student to help you succeed in your studies and during your time at Algonquin College! These services were only available virtually for a long time, but we’re happy to share that many are back on campus so you can access them in person or online.
What kinds of services are we talking about?
Well, services like the AC Hub, the Centre for Accessible Learning, Counselling, the Employment Support Centre, Health Services, the Library, the Mamidosewin Centre, Project Lighthouse, the Umbrella Project, the Spiritual Centre, the Student Learning Centre, Test Centre, Welcome Centre, and Peer Tutoring are coming back and will be 75% on campus for the upcoming winter term. Connections – the Campus Store and the Print Shop will also be open for in-person shopping at the Woodroffe campus.
While many services will be offering on-campus in-person services for the winter semester, all services will remain available virtually. So, how do you pick which service can help you with your educational journey? We’ve got a couple of ideas for you below.
Looking for resources for your next assignment or need some support in your research?
The Library has you covered! All campus libraries offer brief research consultation and search help during business hours.
