Workshops for Students
ASC group workshops are designed to teach you new skills that you can apply directly to your academic work. Presented by our specialists, each workshop focuses on specific academic tasks and concerns with university-level studying and reading, time management and planning, exams, or writing. To support your academic progress, our workshops are free to U of A students.
Non-U of A students, staff, faculty and alumni are charged a nominal fee and must register for workshops by contacting success@ualberta.ca.
You may access registration for one of our group workshops through campusBRIDGE.
