Academic Success Resources

Accessible Learning Services has developed a series of workshops and other resources to support students' academic success. Topics include time management, note-taking skills, memorization techniques, test-taking strategies, and more.

Workshops

All students are welcome, however drop in space is limited. We ask that you sign up here in advance so we can plan for a larger space if possible.

Currently there are no events.

In addition to our in-person workshops, we are pleased to offer online resources below for self-guided learning opportunities.

Looking for something you don’t see? Email accessible.learning@acadiau.ca to request additional resources or suggest a topic.

Study Coach Sessions

Looking for help with a range of academic success skills? Sign up for a Study Coach session! This is a 1-on-1 meeting with an upper-year student (Peer Educator) with a range of knowledge around academic skill building, including:

  • Time management
  • Managing Procrastination
  • Note taking
  • Academic reading
  • Study tips and techniques
  • Test taking and exam preparation
  • Identifying additional academic resources

Study Coach sessions are available to any Acadia student who is looking to develop skills to help achieve academic success. These sessions focus on skill building–learning how to learn–and are not subject specific.
