Any staff or faculty member can refer a student for one-to-one individualized support from one of our Learning Skills Specialists. The student will be contacted to set up a consultation, where they will have the opportunity to discuss current challenges and opportunities for growth, developing a unique plan for academic success with assistance from the Learning Skills Specialist. Students may also self-refer.
