Success at university depends on many factors, some of them academic, some not. That’s why we have established programs and systems that support you both in your studies and in your life.

Small Class Sizes
At UCW you will never find yourself in a class of more than fifty students. This means that your professor will have time for you and everyone else in the class – time to explain concepts thoroughly, answer questions fully, and give you the time and personal attention you deserve.

Learning Coaches and Program Assistants
As a student at UCW, you will also have the support of an experienced Learning Coach in every class. Your Coach is there to help you master your coursework, prepare for examinations, and develop time management and study skills that will help you succeed not only in your studies, but in life. Full-time Program Assistants are also available to help you with any technical, logistical or other issues you may encounter.

Skill Development
Success at university depends, in part, on a set of skills that will also serve you well in the workplace: the ability to manage your time, work with others and communicate and study effectively. Opportunities to learn and practice these career-enhancing life skills have been built into each of our programs, in both our on-campus courses and those conducted on-line.

Advising and Counselling
Each faculty at UCW has academic advisors who can help you plan your program and make sure you are prepared for life after university, whether that means graduate studies or career preparation. Contact the Dean's Office of your faculty for assistance. Student Services can also help you access personal counseling services available through friendly, local community agencies.
