Workshops + Accountability Sessions

Workshops

ASC group workshops will teach you strategies that you can apply directly to your academic work. Each workshop focuses on a specific area of concern.

COST U of A Student Fee: Free

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. If you need to cancel your workshop registration, please email success@ualberta.ca at least 24 hours before the workshop's start time. Failure to attend a workshop/failure to cancel a workshop with enough notice will be considered a "no-show".

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.
