Math Support

The Student Learning Centre provides math support through workshops, drop-in study halls, peer-assisted study sessions (PASS), and one-on-one appointments with a peer tutor or a math specialist.   

 Our engagement data shows that students who attend calculus workshops and study hall are more likely to get an A or B grade in their course.
