Workshops + Accountability Sessions

Workshops

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. 

See Workshop Calendar + Register

Non-U of A students, staff, faculty and alumni are charged a nominal fee and must register for workshops by contacting success@ualberta.ca.

Registration + Cancellation

Register early as workshop space is limited. Registrations are filled on a "first come, first served" basis. Students who need to cancel workshop registrations must email success@ualberta.ca at least 24 hours' notice of workshop dates. Failure to attend workshops in which students have registered and cancellations received with less than 24 hours notice will be considered "no shows."

Non-U of A students may contact success@ualberta.ca to learn about workshop fees and to register for workshops.

Accessibility

We are committed to making our services accessible to all. Email accessibility requests to success@ualberta.ca at least two weeks in advance of workshops.

Sessions for Accountability + Study Strategies

These weekly small-group sessions give students the opportunity to apply high-impact strategies directly to their coursework, make progress on assignments and maintain motivation—all with the guidance of a Learning Specialist.

Sessions for accountability and study strategies will resume in the Fall term.
